Triceratops Fossil Skeleton

The 65-million-year-old Triceratops has a large frill on the back of its skull, two large horns over its eyes, and a smaller horn on its nos

A sketch of a Torosaurus latus, the owner of one of the largest heads in the history of the animal kingdom. It was done during a spontaneous challenge with my friends. :)

But with memory vs. reference in lineart.

Do not use my art as base or something like that.

Coahuilaceratops, a genus of chasmosaurine ceratopsian dinosaur, is thought to have possessed among the largest horns of any known dinosaur, even though it is based on incomplete remains. Its horns may have rivaled the size of those of larger chasmosaurines such as Triceratops and Torosaurus, at 1.2 m (4 ft) long.

DINOCEMBER

8 - Regaliceratops peterhewsi (from Latin "Royal horned face") - Late Cretaceous (68 Ma BCE) - St. Mary River Formation, Alberta, Canada Named in 2015, the Regaliceratops is one of many ceratopsids, one of the most recognized groups of dinosaurs due to their large heads adorned with bone frills and horn sets, found in North America, native to the ancient continent of Laramidia, in the western portion of the Western Interior Seaway. Its name comes from the set of bony scutes at the top of its frill, looking kinda like a tiara, being nicknamed by the team that found hit as "Hellboy", both for the relatively short horns at the top of its orbits and due to the difficulty of removing the fossil. from the matrix. This animal, of a size close to that of an Indian rhinoceros, lived in a region of seasonal floodplains and swamps, along with other ceratopsians, nodosaurs, hadrosaurs and raptors, most likely suffering from the tyrannosaur Albertosaurus, native to the same region and geological time. The Regaliceratops belonged to the Chasmosaurinae family, one of the two large groups of ceratopsians native to North America during the Late Cretaceous, being a close relative of the famous Triceratops of the Hell Creek Formation. Chasmosaurines were characterized by relatively large bone frills, resulting in some of the largest skulls in the animal kingdom, such as the Torosaurus and Pentaceratops, and more prominent brow horns, with small nasal horns. Mostly burly herbivores, these animals would occupy a niche similar to that of large antelopes, deer and cattle in their habitats, using their scissor beaks to uproot shrubs and ferns from the ground, in addition to possibly spending time in mud puddles, like rhinos and buffaloes do today, to scare away insects and other skin parasites, as I decided to represent here. A flock of flies from a large animal such as Regaliceratops would certainly attract small animals in search of a meal, such as a fluff-covered Saurornitholestes chick, which this old female decided to accept.

A quick study of Chasmosaurus belli. Might do more size comparisons like those in the future, they're pretty fun. Based on the skeletal by Scott Hartman.
