Centrosaurus — size comparison — facts and sources

Centrosaurus was a quadrupedal herbivore of Late Cretaceous Canada. A large nasal horn and bony frill with marginal projections distinguished it. Its beak and teeth cut and broke down plants.

Huge bone accumulations containing many individuals support a herding hypothesis. Floods and processes moving remains are also studied to explain their formation. Skulls of different ages show how horn and frill changed during growth.
