Anchiceratops — size comparison — facts and sources

Anchiceratops was a large herbivorous ceratopsian of Late Cretaceous Canada. It had two prominent brow horns, a shorter nasal horn and an extensive ornamented frill. A powerful beak worked with teeth farther inside the jaws.

Skull comparisons reveal varied ornaments among close relatives. Not every difference indicates a separate species: age and individual variation also matter. Horns may have served defence and communication, but their functions are not conclusively established.
