Ressemblance

A little diabloceratops notices that an old bull has the same birth defect to his crest and feels… uhh…. Idk… i guess comforted?? Knowing that he’s not alone in the weird world of ceratopsian crests. The old bull also notices this and does a little bow of respect.

In the background there is an individual I call mace face, due to the fact the pathology on the crest originates from an ankylosaur or a pachycephalosaur hitting them in the face as a child, scratching themself. The relation of mace face to the other ones into the piece isn’t specific so feel free to headcannon (ideas of mine include: mother of baby, child of gramps, a & b, sibling of baby, and stranger)

achelousaurus horneri - centrosaurine - late cretaceous discovered by the lovely jack horner, this intimidating ceratopsid lady has Quite the eyebrows. she was part of a study relating to the debate of thermoregulation in dinosaurs- whether they could generate heat or not, like current avian dinosaurs and mammals. by analyzing oxygen isotopes in the fossils of dinosaurs found in the two medicine formation, paleontologists could pinpoint seasonal variations in body temperature! they found the variations pointed to achelousaurus and other dinosaurs in the formation being homeothermic endotherms- the same as our avian dinosaurs today!

Operative from an interstellar agency monitoring human interference into developing sapient cultures pursued by an enraged Centrotaurion injured during the man’s earlier escape from the local authorities. His protocentauropsine companion is a condemned cultist whose people were converted to Christianity by human missionaries. She's urging him not to do anything rash, but do humans ever listen?? NOOOOOO. https://www.deviantart.com/thomastapir/art/Go-Down-Fighting-782936697
