Carnotaurus - The shortest arms of any meat-eating dinosaur with horns to match. Caudipteryx - A birdlike dinosaur that changed the views of paleontologists. Centrosaurus - Like a unicorn, this ceratopsian only had one horn. Cerasinops - A small ceratopsian of the late Cretaceous. ...
et sp. nov.—characterized by elongate, laterally projecting supraorbital horncores and a short, broad frill adorned with ten well developed hooks—has the most ornate skull of any known dinosaur and is closely allied to Chasmosaurus irvinensis from the late Campanian of Alberta. Conclusions/...
To connect the dinosaurs, creatures of interest to everyone but the veriest dullard, with a spectacular extraterrestrial event like the deluge of meteors … seems a little like one of those plots that a clever publisher might concoct to guarantee enormous sales. All the Alvarez-Raup theories...
large nasal horncore, small postorbital horncores, and massive parietal epiossifications. Cranial morphology, particularly the epiossifications, suggests close affinity with the late Campanian/early Maastrichian taxonAnchiceratops, as well as with the late Maastrichtian taxonTriceratops. A median epi...
Paraceratherium (similar to Indricotherium) is a large, extinct, hornless rhinoceros. It was one of the largest land mammals. Adults were about 26 feet (8 m) long, 18 feet (5.5 m) tall, and weighed about 15-20 tons. The skull was 4.25 feet (1.3 m) long. This herbivore ate ...
Distinguished by its large nasal horn and two smaller horns in front of its eyes,Ceratosauruswas a carnivore with sharp teeth and a long tail. It had a more slender build compared to other large theropods of its time, suggesting it might have had a different ecological niche. ...
CeratosaurusHorn One aspect ofCeratosaurus’ appearance that distinguishes it from most other theropods is the horn on its nose and the horn-like ridges above its eyes. The horns are unlikely to have been used for hunting prey, but may have been used as weapons against rivalCeratosaurusin fights...
unique find because of its distinctive cranial structure. According to the research paper, it had "a large, upright nasal horn located close to the orbits" in addition to the two horns located on its brow like the triceratops, making it a tripod of pointy toughness when dealing with ...
The fossils and bones come in all shapes and sizes, including one specific kind with a curious spike that the earliest paleontologists often presumed to be a horn. The gallery’s interactive displays also explain fossilization processes, dinosaur digs, and other related topics. ...
Triceratops, with its three horns and bony frill around the back of its head, is one of the most recognizable dinosaurs. Its name is a combination of the Greek syllables tri-, meaning "three," kéras, meaning "horn," and ops, meaning "face." The dinosaur roamed North America about 67 ...
