Today, I’ll write about marginocephalan and thyreophoran dinosaurs.

Reconstructed skeleton of Archaeoceratops oshimai.

Archaeoceratops oshimai is the early ceratopsia, so it has neither frill nor horn.

Reconstructed skeleton of Protoceratops andrewsi.

Protoceratops andrewsi also has no horn, but for fighting dinosaurs fossil, it fought with strong jaws.

Reconstructed skull of Triceratops sp.

Triceratops sp. is the biggest, most famous, and last ceratopsia, but there is no hole on its frill. it is quite different to other ceratopsia.

Reconstructed skeleton of Medusaceratops lokii. artifact parts arebased on Chasmosaurus.

For caption, it is Albertaceratops nesmoi. But it was found in Montana, so it would be Medusaceratops lokii. Artifact parts like frill are reconstructed like Chasmosaurus because it was thought a species of Chasmosaurus at first.

Reconstructed skeleton of Pachycephalosaurus wyomigensis.

Pachycephalosaurus wyomigensis has a body like a barrel to receive its long intestine.

Reconstructed skeleton of Edmontonia sp. with real fossil.

Edmontonia sp.‘s spikes points front. they looks like strong weapons.

Reconstructed skeleton of Euoplocephalus tutus.

It is Euoplocephalus tutus for caption, but I don’t know whether it is really Euoplocephalus or not. What do you think?

Reconstructed skeleton of “Crichtonsaurus bohlini”.

“Crichtonsaurus bohlini” is not valid name. This skeleton has osteoderms in two rows, but there is no evidence about them.

Reconstructed skeleton of Hesperosaurus mjosi with real holotype.

This Hesperosaurus mjosi is real holotype. It is one of the specimen to see in the museum.

Thank you for reading! Next time, I’ll write about dinosaurs in Fukui.
