Achelousaurus was a ceratopsian that lived during the Campanian stage of the late Cretacious period. It is named after the Greek river deity, Achelous who, according to myth, had his horn broken off during a fight with the famous Greek hero, Hercules. The skull of Achelousaurus has a low, flat boss (or lumpy mass of bone) on its snout that looks like the animal has had its horn broken off.

Review: Chasmosaurus (The Lost World: Jurassic Park by Kenner)

Genus: Chasmosaurus Brand: Jurassic Park, Kenner Classification: Ceratopsian, Chasmosaur Age: Cretaceous Type: Action Figure

3.4 (16 votes)

Chasmosaurus is surely one of the strangest additions to the Jurassic Park toyline. Although it was at least a dinosaur (unlike Dimetrodon, Estemmenosuchus etc.) it was never mentioned in the books or movies, and isn’t the sort of dinosaur that your ordinary MOTGP (Member Of The General Public…nothing to do with the Moto GP, hail Rossi) could recall from memory.

Review and Photos by DinoLord.
In 1994, the Boston Museum of Science released a line of dinosaur figures produced by the toy company Battat and sculpted by professional paleo-artists. While new figures were released in 1996 and 1998, the project was scrapped in 2002, and the line remained discontinued.

Review: Triceratops (Invicta)

Genus: Triceratops Brand: Invicta Classification: Ceratopsian, Chasmosaur Age: Cretaceous Type: Figurine, Monochrome

4.2 (20 votes)

Ah, the Invicta dinosaurs – every one a retro-tastic delight, and every one now sadly out of production (and replaced at the Natural History Museum (London) by a piece of Toyway tat not worthy of the museum’s seal of approval…BAH). Triceratops here is one of the earlier figures in the line, and it shows – which is not to say that it isn’t a delightful figure, like the majority of Invictasaurs.

When Wild Safari began pumping out figures that all of a sudden were leaps and bounds better with regards to detail and accuracy then their previous work, it shouldn’t be surprising then, that they decided to revisit many old classic kinds of dinosaurs and give them much needed face-lifts.

Triceratops is easily one of the most iconic and recognizable dinosaurs ever discovered. Possessing three lance-like horns and a solid bone frill, this largest member of the ceratopsian group has been depicted in countless movies, books and other media involving dinosaurs all around the world.

Pachyrhinosaurus was a ceratopsian dinosaur that lived during the Campanian age of the late Cretacious in what is now Canada. It was the largest of the “thick nosed” ceratopsians and is recognized by the fact that its skull sports no nose horn, just a large lumpy mass of bone.

Review: Protoceratops (Carnegie Collection by Safari Ltd.)

Genus: Protoceratops Brand: Carnegie, Safari Ltd. Classification: Ceratopsian, Ceratopsian (basal) Age: Cretaceous Type: Baby Dino, Figurine

3.7 (7 votes)

One of the more unusual early Carnegie releases (© 1988), this Protoceratops is less dinosaur toy, more cheap-‘n’-cheerful diorama. The inspiration’s pretty obvious for anyone who’s read a dinosaur book or two (a classic case of mistaken identity – nobody tell this guy!), but it made for an odd early entry among the chunky theropods with painted-on teeth.

Chasmosaurus is a fairly well known ceratopsian that lived in Canada during the Campanian era of the Late Cretacious. It’s characterized by a distinctly tall and wide frill accompanied by three horns on its face. At least three individual species of this dinosaur are known due to variation amongst frills and horns on various skulls.

Since theinitial discovery of this ancient animal in the 1880s by O. C. Marsh, Triceratops has become one of the most well known of all of the dinosaurs. Today in the 21st century, it still remains one of the largest of the Ceratopsia.

The Pachyrhinosaurus by Papo is easily one of the most (if not the most) anticipated figures of 2010. This is one of the first times where papo has released one of their figures so early in the year; I’m glad I got mine so soon!

Review and photos by Griffin
Monoclonius was always known as a sort of “little brother” to Triceratops, characterized by its short frill and singular nose horn. Sadly for it, like several other dinosaurs I remember growing up with like Trachodon and Brontosaurus, it’s no longer believed to be a valid genus of dinosaur.
