Scientific Classification
  Kingdom Animalia
  Phylum Chordata
  Class Sauropsida
  Superorder Dinosauria
  Order Ornithischia
  Suborder Cerapoda
  (unranked) Marginocephalia

  Genus Styracosaurus
Styracosaurus was a herbivore (plant-eater) that lived in the late Cretaceous period, about 76 to 70 million years ago. It was about 18 feet (5.5 meters) long and weighed around 3 tons.

The name Styracosaurus was chosen by Lawrence Lambe in 1913, and means "spiked lizard". This name was of course chosen in reference to the animal's most distinctive features: the horns around its neck frill, the smaller horns on its cheeks, and the large horn on its snout.

Although it usually believed that Styracosaurus became extinct many millions of years ago, some cryptozoologists (people who search for rumored or mythical animals whose existence is uncertain) have suggested that an animal claimed to be living in Cameroon, which is known as "Ngoubou", might be a surviving ("relict") Styracosaurus. As yet however, there is no definitive proof of the existence of this animal. For more information see Living Dinosaurs?

  5. Styracosaurus lived between about 76 million years ago and 70 million years ago, during the late Cretaceous period.

  6. Styracosaurus lived in North America.

  7. Styracosaurus was a herbivore (plant-eater).

  • Large Vinyl Syracosaurus Dinosaur
Product Description:
Large Vinyl Syracosaurus Dinosaur. 8" tall x 15" wide. Styracosaurus , meaning "spiked lizard" from the Ancient Greek "spike at the butt-end of a spear-shaft" genus of herbivorous ceratopsian dinosaur from the Cretaceous Period (Campanian stage), about 76.5 to 75.0 million years ago. It had four to six long horns extending from its neck frill, a smaller horn on each of its cheeks, and a single horn protruding from its nose, which may have been up to 60 centimeters (2 ft) long and 15 centimeters (6 in) wide. The function or functions of the horns and frills have been debated for many years. Styracosaurus was a relatively large dinosaur, reaching lengths of 5.5 meters (18 ft) and weighing nearly 3 tons. It stood about 1.8 meters (6 ft) tall. Styracosaurus possessed four short legs and a bulky body. Its tail was rather short. The skull had a beak and shearing cheek teeth arranged in continuous dental batteries, suggesting that the animal sliced up plants. Like other ceratopsians, this dinosaur may have been a herd animal, traveling in large groups, as suggested by bonebeds

Extracto: Triceratops (del griego tri-/τρι- ="tres", kéras/κέρας ="cuerno", y -ōps/-ωψ ="cara"; "cara de tres cuernos'") es un género de dinosaurios ceratopsianos ceratópsidos, que vivieron a finales del período Cretácico , hace aproximadamente 68 y 65 millones de años, en el Maastrichtiano, en lo que hoy es Norteamérica. Es uno de los últimos géneros en aparecer antes del gran evento de extinción masiva del Cretácico-Terciario. Llevaba un gran volante del cuello óseo y tres cuernos; cuerpo grande sobre cuatro fornidas patas, y con semejanzas en aspecto con el moderno rinoceronte, Triceratops es uno de los más reconocidos de todos los dinosaurios.

Product Description:
Forrás: Wikipedia. Oldalak: 41. Fejezetek: Triceratops, Psittacosaurus, Styracosaurus, Ceratopsia, Protoceratops, Centrosaurus, Monoclonius, Torosaurus, Anchiceratops, Chasmosaurus, Nedoceratops, Einiosaurus, Pachyrhinosaurus, Brachyceratops, Arrhinoceratops, Ceratopsidae, Chaoyangsaurus, Hongshanosaurus, Bagaceratops, Achelousaurus, Agathaumas, Ajkaceratops, Avaceratops, Pentaceratops, Zuniceratops, Yinlong, Albertaceratops, Leptoceratops, Archaeoceratops, Psittacosauridae, Protoceratopsidae, Montanoceratops, Tatankaceratops, Cerasinops, Centrosaurinae. Idézet: A Triceratops (jelentése 'háromszarvú arc', az ógörög τρι- / tri 'három', κέρας / kérasz 'szarv' és ωψ / -opsz 'arc' szavak összetételéből) a növényevő ceratopsida dinoszauruszok egyik neme, amely a késő kréta kor maastrichti korszaka idején, körülbelül 68-65 millió évvel ezelőtt élt Észak-Amerika területén. A kréta-tercier kihalási esemény előtt élt utolsó dinoszaurusznemek egyike volt. A nagy nyakfodorral és három szarvval rendelkező, négy lábon mozgó, a modern orrszarvúéhoz hasonló testű Triceratops az egyik legkönnyebben felismerhető dinoszaurusz. Habár élőhelyén olyan ragadozókkal osztozott, mint a félelmetes Tyrannosaurus, nem tisztázott, hogy e két állat harcolt-e egymással olyan módon, ahogy az a múzeumi kiállításokon és dinoszauruszokat ábrázoló képeken látható. Eddig még nem fedeztek fel teljes Triceratops csontvázat, de az állat jól dokumentált a számos részleges fosszília révén, melyeket a nem felfedezése, 1887 óta találtak. A nyakfodor és a három feltűnő arcszarv funkciója sok vitát váltott ki. A hagyományos elképzelés szerint a ragadozókkal szembeni védekezés eszközei voltak, az újabb elméletek azonban azt állítják, hogy inkább az udvarlás során és a dominancia kimutatásában játszottak szerepet, a modern rénszarvasok, havasi kecskék és óriásbogarak agancsaihoz vagy szarvaihoz hasonlóan. A Triceratops az egyik legjobban ismert ceratopsida, bár a nem...

Excerpt: Triceratops ( -ə-tops) is a genus of herbivorous ceratopsid dinosaur which lived during the late Maastrichtian stage of the Late Cretaceous Period, around 68 to 65 million years ago (Mya) in what is now North America. It was one of the last dinosaur genera to appear before the great Cretaceous-Paleogene extinction event. Bearing a large bony frill and three horns on its large four-legged body, and conjuring similarities with the modern rhinoceros, Triceratops is one of the most recognizable of all dinosaurs and the best known ceratopsid. It shared the landscape with and was preyed upon by the fearsome Tyrannosaurus, though it is less certain that the two did battle in the manner often depicted in traditional museum displays and popular images. The exact placement of the Triceratops genus within the ceratopsid group has been debated by paleontologists. Two species, T. horridus and T. prorsus, are considered valid although many other species have been named. Recent research suggests that the contemporaneous Torosaurus, a ceratopsid long regarded as a separate genus, actually represents Triceratops in its mature form. Triceratops has been documented by numerous remains collected since the genus was first described in 1889, including at least one complete individual skeleton. Paleontologist John Scannella observed: "It is hard to walk out into the Hell Creek Formation and not stumble upon a Triceratops weathering out of a hillside." Forty-seven complete or partial skulls were discovered in just that are...

More info: Ceratopsia or Ceratopia ( or ; Greek: "horned faces") is a group of herbivorous, beaked dinosaurs which thrived in what are now North America and Asia, during the Cretaceous Period, although ancestral forms lived earlier, in the Jurassic. Early members such as Psittacosaurus were small and bipedal. Later members, including ceratopsids like Centrosaurus and Triceratops, became very large quadrupeds and developed elaborate facial horns and a neck frill. While the frill might have served to protect the vulnerable neck from predators, it may also have been used for display, thermoregulation, the attachment of large neck and chewing muscles or some combination of the above. Ceratopsians ranged in size from 1 meter (3 ft) and 23 kilograms (50 lb) to over 9 meters (30 ft) and 5,400 kg (12,000 lb).

Product Description:

The horned dinosaurs, a group of rhinoceros-like creatures that lived 100 to 65 million years ago, included one of the greatest and most popular dinosaurs studied today: Triceratops. Noted for his flamboyant appearance--marked by a striking array of horns over the nose and eyes, a long bony frill at the back of the head, and an assortment of lumps and bumps for attracting females--this herbivore displayed remarkable strength in its ability to fight off Tyrannosaurus rex. It was also among the last dinosaurs to walk the earth. In telling us about Triceratops and its relatives, the Ceratopsia, Peter Dodson here re-creates the sense of adventure enjoyed by so many scientists who have studied them since their discovery in the mid-nineteenth century. From the badlands of the Red Deer River in Alberta to the Gobi Desert, Dodson pieces together fossil evidence to describe the ceratopsians themselves--their anatomy, biology, and geography--and he evokes the human dimension of their discovery and interpretation. An authoritative survey filled with many original illustrations, this book is the first comprehensive presentation of horned dinosaurs for the general reader.

Dodson explains first the fascinating ways in which the ceratopsians dealt with their dangerous environment. There follows a lesson on ceratopsian bone structure, which enables the reader quickly to grasp the questions that still puzzle scientists, concerning features such as posture, gait, footprints, and diet. Dodson evenhandedly discusses controversies that continue, for example, over sexual dimorphism and the causes of the dinosaurs' disappearance. Throughout his narrative, we are reminded that dinosaur study is a human enterprise. We meet the scientists who charmed New York high society into financing expeditions to Mongolia, home of Triceratops' predecessors, as well as those who used their poker winnings to sustain paleontology expeditions. Rich in fossil lore and in tales of adventure, the world of the Ceratopsia is presented here for specialists and general readers alike.
