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 |
