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

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

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

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.

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.


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

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

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

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

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.
