Another weirdo from the family of weridos in the Dinosaur world.

I wonder if there is a chance that this will get synomonized with Diabloceratops.  Maybe someone thinking that this could be the adult form

[PaleoMatt]

Looks Cool!

[Carcharodontosaurus]

Those frill horns look like perfect places for Cretaceous birds to land and ride on, like modern day deer and bison. I don't know, just a theory that can never be proven, but cool to think about.

Or male/female morphs. Either way, I can see that happening.

[Yutyrannus]

I really doubt this isn't just another Diabloceratops specimen (whether it's a male and the others were female, or it's just an older individual). But it's a cool discovery nonetheless .

[Megalosaurus]

I agree that this seems like dissorted/crussed remains of Diabloceratops.
Also the paleoart exagerates the angle of the curvature.

I agree! They are so cool

Wow, so many new ceratopsians.  We just found Spiclypeus shipporum.  http://www.cbc.ca/news/technology/judith-horned-dinosaur-1.3587562

What's up with the scare quotes around "art"...........

[AcroSauroTaurus]

Looks exactly like Diabloceratops, its most likely a second species in the Diabloceratops genus.

[Yutyrannus]

Honestly, I'm skeptical of it even being a separate species of Diabloceratops, I think it is probably either a male or an older individual (or both) of Diabloceratops eatoni.

Not my intention to offend anyone. So I edited my original post.

Honestly, I'm skeptical of it even being a separate species of Diabloceratops, I think it is probably either a male or an older individual (or both) of Diabloceratops eatoni.

It's from a slightly later time period (about 1 million years younger than Diabloceratops, so probably more like a very similar direct descendant that evolved from Diabloceratops.

Oh, okay. Probably Diabloceratops sp. then. Thanks for pointing that out .

wow that thing looks strange.
