Styracosaurus
Click here for more Styracosaurus Pictures
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.

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 |

Excerpt: Achelousaurus Fossil range: Late Cretaceous Achelousaurus (typically pronounced / ki l s r s/ , though / æk lo . s r s/ might be a better reflection of the butchered etymology; "Achelous 's lizard") is a genus of centrosaurine ceratopsid dinosaur from the Late Cretaceous Period of what is now North America . It was a quadrupedal herbivore with a parrot -like beak, a rough boss (raised bony area) on the snout and two more behind the eyes, and two horns on the end of its long bony neck frill. With a total body length of 6 meters (20 feet), Achelousaurus was a medium-sized ceratopsian. The genus and the one named species ( A. horneri ) were both named by paleontologist Scott Sampson in 1995. The specific name honors Jack Horner , an influential American paleontologist famous for his Montana dinosaur discoveries. The generic na... |

Non illustré. Mises à jour gratuites en ligne. Extrait : Torosaurus était un dinosaure herbivore cératopsien, il a fait son apparition pendant le Crétacé supérieur. bassin d'ornitishienLe Torosaurus appartient à l'ordre des ornithischiens . Il existe 2 grands ordres de dinosaures : les ornithischiens et les saurischiens Les dinosaures ornitischiens sont caractérisés par un bassin semblable à celui des oiseaux contrairement aux saurischiens, qui possèdent un bassin de reptile. Les ornitischiens sont divisés en 3 sous-ordres:les thyreophores (dinosaures à armure), les marginocéphales (dinosaures à tête ornée) et les ornithopodes (dinosaures à pied d'oiseau). Le Torosaurus fait partie des marginocéphales et à la famille des cératopsidés, à laquelle appartient le célèbre Tricératops. Torosaurus signifie reptile taureau. C'est en 1891 que le paléontologue Othniel Charles Marsh le nomme ainsi car la taille du crâne et les grandes cornes lui rappelaient le taureau . Tête de TorosaurusLe Torosaurus mesurait 8 mètres de long, environ 3 mètres de haut et pesait 7 tonnes. C'était un gros ceratopsidé, il a d'ailleurs longtemps détenu le record du plus gros crâne pour un animal terrestre, qui pouvait atteindre 2,6 mètres de long (jusqu'à ce que le Pentaceratops ne lui ravisse ce t...http://booksllc.net/?l=fr |

Aus Wikipedia. Nicht dargestellt. Auszug: Triceratops (pronounced ) 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-Tertiary 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. Although it shared the landscape with and was preyed upon by the fearsome Tyrannosaurus, it is unclear whether the two did battle in the manner often depicted in museum displays and popular images. A complete Triceratops skeleton has yet to be found, though the creature is well-documented by numerous partial remains collected since the introduction of the genus in 1887. The function of their frills and three distinctive facial horns has long inspired debate. Although traditionally viewed as defensive weapons against predators, the l...http://booksllc.net/?l=de |
