About Styracosaurus
A ceratopsian with a spectacular crown of 4-6 long spikes radiating from its frill, plus a nose horn. The spikes may have been for defense and display. Found in bonebeds suggesting it traveled in large herds. Related to Triceratops but more dramatically spiky. Fought each other based on frill injuries found in fossils.
