Styracosaurus
(76-75 mya)
What the name means: Spiky lizard
Styracosaurus was a horned dinosaur that lived during the Cretaceous period in what is now modern-day Canada, 75 million years ago. This herbivorous dinosaur had four to six long parietal spikes, a jugal horn on each cheek, and one horn protruding from its nose, which could reach 60 centimeters in length. Some individuals had small hook-shaped protrusions and bumps on the back edge of their neck frill, similar to those of Centrosaurus, but smaller in size. Styracosaurus was a relatively large dinosaur, reaching a length of up to 5.5 meters and a height of just under 2 meters. It had four short legs and a bulky body, with a fairly short tail. Its skull featured a beak and shearing cheek teeth arranged in continuous dental batteries, suggesting that the animal would slice plants with its beak and then grind them with its teeth.
