Styracosaurus — size comparison — facts and sources

Styracosaurus lived in Late Cretaceous western North America. It had a large nasal horn and long spikes projecting from its bony frill margin. It was a herbivore whose ecology is studied through Alberta’s rich deposits. Shared accumulations of remains suggest group life, but catastrophes and water transport of bones must also be considered.

Studies of skull-structure functions consider defence, individual recognition and display.
