 Description: Styracosaurus
was a genus of herbivorous ceratopsian dinosaurs from the Cretaceous
Period (Campanian stage), about 76.5 to 75.0
million years ago. It had four to six long horns extending from
its neck frill, a smaller horn on each of its cheeks, and a single
horn protruding from its nose. Styracosaurus was a relatively large
dinosaur, reaching lengths of 5.5 meters (18 ft) and weighing nearly
3 tons. Like other ceratopsians, this dinosaur may have been a
herd animal, traveling in large groups, as suggested by bonebeds.
