This piece was found in wyoming and was prepped in the field, described as a section of triceratops frill, is that accurate?

It is quite difficult to identify small fragments of bone unless it was taken from a triceratops skeleton. Perhaps other people on the forum will likely have a better answer for you. :)

Prepped in the field sounds like a red flag to me.

Yes it could be frill but not a good example of one, I really don't like it.  Its weathered and its distinguishing characteristics are hard to see or missing.  A poor prep of broken pieces, not sure they all are from the same bone especially the lower part in your first photo..  If it's Wyoming, not Hell Creek but most likely Lance Fm. need to know locality found.    Like it's been said no way to assign bone fragments to Triceratops other large Ceratopsian were present.
