Ceratosaurus was named for the distinctive horns on its skull, with one on the nose, and a pair over the eyes. Recent studies suggest this predator was well-adapted for swimming, and may have hunted in Jurassic swamplands. Survey the Jurassic landscape and search for prey through the yellow...
Dinosaur - Pachycephalosaurs, Head-Butting, Herbivores: Pachycephalosaurs are known as domeheads because of the thick frontoparietal bones of the skull. They appear to have been bipedal with ossified tendons, leaf-shaped teeth, and an ornithischian pelvi
The newfound species also had a third pair of asymmetrical horns at the top of its frill, which earned it the species namerangiformis, meaning "looks like caribou" in Latin, because caribous (Rangifer tarandus) also have antlers that are longer on one side of their head than th...
They’re the ones with the curious spike that early paleontologists mistook for a horn on their nose. Interactive displays in the gallery also detail the fossilization process and dinosaur digs, among other topics. Museum of Natural Sciences, Rue Vautier 29, Brussels 1000 Belgium; +32 (0)2 62...
Gently press down on the neck frill with a clay tool to add texture. Step 7 Roll two tiny balls of black clay and stick them on the head for eyes. Step 8 Roll a piece of white clay into a horn shape with a flat bottom, and stick it on the nose area. Roll two smaller horns an...

they fought with each other. Some of the skulls have holes in the bones that look like they were made by fighting with other horned dinosaurs. The horn had a bone core covered with chitin - like your fingernails. Cow Horn in cross section, showing the bone core and the chitinous sheath...

Horned dinosaurs, or “ceratopsids,” were a group of big-bodied, four-footed herbivores that lived during the Late Cretaceous Period. As epitomized byTriceratops, most members of this group have huge skulls bearing a single horn over the nose, one horn over each eye, and an elongate, bony...
One part education, another part entertainment, the 10,000-square-meter experience mixes skeletons and fossils with writhing animatronic dinosaurs in an Ingen-esque setting, including a “veterinarian” taking care of an injured Stegosaurus and egg incubators. While Spielberg may not have given his b...
