Are you a fan of horned dinosaurs? Can you not choose your favorite? Now you don’t have to with a nice group shot of 3 phenomenal members of this exquisite prehistoric family.

Cute little guy with stars in his eyes!

Psittacosaurus was an early Ceratopsian, a member of the same group as Triceratops, and Styracosaurus. While they lacked the crests of their larger relatives they possessed tall skulls and powerful beaks, Ptittacosaurus (meaning “parrot lizard”) gets it’s name from it’s parrot-like beak structure. Fossils also have been found with preserved bristle-like filaments on the fail section, most likely used for display. Though it was small, only about 6.5 feet in length and weighing in at around 44 pounds, we know a lot about them. Psittacosaurus has the largest number of described species at around 9 or 10, many of those species possess specialized beak structures that possibly aided them in different ecological niches.

In a time before chickens, HoliDinos have to decorate their own eggs. Or, at least, get some help to do so. (We’re ignoring the anachronism of the bunny costume. :p)

For the Triceratops, "Ceratopsian" is the fancy word for "horned face".

Triceratops

Nasutoceratops was a ceratopsian dinosaur from the Cretaceous period. It was a large herbivore with rounded horns above its eyes. This design features a cute version of the Nasutoceratops!

Triceratops literally means 'three-horned face'

In 1922, Roy Chapman Andrews led an expedition to explore the inner reaches of the Gobi Desert in Mongolia. The expedition was taken on behalf of the American Museum of Natural History in the hopes of finding fossil evidence of the early origins of humans, while no early human remains were found on the trip they did find numerous new species of extinct mammals and many new species of dinosaur. Included in these specimens was a small relative of Triceratops (the famous horned dinosaur discovered in North America in 1887), it was only about the size of a small sheep, measuring around 5.9 feet in length and was only an estimated 182 pounds in weight.

Styracosaurus (or “spiked lizard”) was a member of the ceretopsian family of dinosaurs. Though somewhat smaller than it’s much more famous relative Triceratops, it made up for it’s lack of size in the number of horns it had covering it’s face with one long central horn jutting from it’s nose and at least 4 or more long frill spines protruding from the crest on the back of it’s skull. The spines most likely had a variety of purposes, from defense, to attracting a mate, to species recognition. Styracosaurus was a hervivore and lived during the Late Cretaceous period, roughly 75.5 to 75 million years ago, in what would eventually become North America ranging from Alberta, Canada to what would eventually be Montana in the United States.

Triceratops horridus was a Late Cretaceous (68 – 66 million years ago) herbivore, the first of the horned ceratopsian dinosaurs to be discovered. It’s remains were originally found by Othniel Charles Marsh, in the spring of 1887. though he thought that the fossil cores that fit the animal’s brow belonged to a species of extinct Pliocene Bison. It wasn’t until 1889 that he realized his error and named the species Triceratops, meaning “Three Horned Face.” A fully grown Triceratops measured around 30 feet in length, weighing in at roughly 5.5 tons, It’s head made up around 5 feet of it’s total length with 3 feet of horns attached above each eye.

A strange spirit said to haunt paleontologists until they exhume its fossils, catalog, and publish them
