Styracosaurus ~ Plastic Replica Toy Model Dino ~ F8001-B115
Styracosaurus was a genus of herbivorous ceratopsian dinosaur from the Cretaceous Period, about 75.5 to 75 million years ago. It was a large dinosaur, reaching lengths of 5.5 meters (18 ft) and weighing nearly 3 tons. It stood about 1.8 meters (6 ft) tall. Styracosaurus possessed four short legs and a bulky body. Its tail was rather short. It also had a beak and flat cheek teeth, indicating that its diet was herbivorous. Like other ceratopsians, this dinosaur may have been a herd animal, traveling in large groups, as suggested by bonebeds.
With the exception of Triceratops,†‬Styracosaurus is the ceratopsian dinosaur that most people are familiar with.†‬In fact it could even be argued that Styracosaurus has had even greater exposure in popular media such as films,†‬books and games.†‬This popularity is all down to the very distinctive arrangement of horns that extend from the back of the neck frill coupled with a large nasal horn that gave Styracosaurus a fierce looking appearance even though it was a plant eater.
