Centrosaurus
Click here for more Centrosaurus Pictures
Centrosaurus was a herbivore (plant-eater) that lived in the late
Cretaceous period,
about 75 and 70 million years ago.
Its name means "prickle lizard" and refers to the the small horny bumps
on its neck frill, rather than the horn on its snout - as the latter
was not known about until after the creature was name
Centrosaurus was about 20 feet (6 meters) long, and had a single
horn on the center of its nose. The nose horn would curve
backwards or forward depending on the particular species of Centrosaurus.
Lawrence Lambe discovered the first fossils
of Centrosaurus in Alberta, Canada.
Lambe was also the person who coined
the name Centrosaurus, which he did in
1904.
Lambe found fossil
beds containing hundreds of individuals in close proximity. It is thought perhaps that these animals
died while trying to cross a river, and these
fossil beds
also suggest that Centrosaurus
probably lived in large herds.

Centrosaurus Facts
Here is a summary of some of the key facts about Centrosaurus:
