Torosaurus Skeleton Help

[Loon]

Hello all, I've been working on some ceratopsian reconstructions recently and I want to start working on a Torosaurus latus; the problem is: I can't find any skeletal reconstructions for the animal. I've heard it is best to use related animals for a base;so, should I use Triceratops prorsus or horridus, or maybe another ceratopsian? If anyone can help, it would be much appreciated.

I don't know much specifically about the postcranium of Torosaurus, but it seems to me that since some argue for its identity with Triceratops, and that every bit of that argument pertains to skull characteristics, the postcranium is probably similar enough that you can use a Triceratops skeletal to reconstruct Torosaurus.

Would it be better to use prorsus or horridus?

Prorsus


Horridus

While I've seen skulls of both species used in the debate, I believe T. horridus is usually the preferred comparison because it already possesses Torosaurus' longer snout and shorter nasal horn.

This is just something I put together really quick; would something along these lines be a decent starting point?

I combined the body of Scott Hartman's horridus with the skull of this latus that shows some of the post cranial material that's known.

I don't think there are any reported differences in the post crania of horridus and prorsus either. Any differences you see in the skeletal are art style or different interpretations of bone position (or errors).
