Excerpt:

Fossil experts won't know how the skull compares to others until it's cleaned up. That will likely take up to a year and a half. Detrich, who has hunted dinosaur fossils since the 1990s, estimates this Triceratops was twice as big as an elephant. A normal triceratops is about the size of an elephant. He says he expects the discovery to be quite valuable. Triceratops lived in the Western U.S. about 66 million years ago.
