RTMP Ceratopsids


Darren Tanke hard at work prepping a ceratopsid I started collecting with Don Brinkman a few years back as part of my Ph.D. work. As it turns out most of the skeleton and skull was collected but we're missing the parietal (frill), so we'll be back to Iddesliegh, Alberta, this summer to find it.


Darren holds the nasal horncore of a Styracosaurus in place on a specimen currently under prep. Note that's its length is pretty modest.
