Diagnosis

---|---|---|
S. C. R. Maidment and P. M. Barrett 2011 | Modified from Lehman (1989): large ceratopsian dinosaurs with long, low facial region (preorbital length/height ratio = 1.4 to 3.0); inter-premaxillary fossae present; premaxilla and predentary with horizontal or poorly developed lateral cutting flange; nasal horn core, if present, small and formed in part by a separate ossification (epinasal); postfrontal foramen present; frontoparietal fontanelle walled mostly by the postorbital bones; frontal bones reduced; prefrontal bones small; cranial frill long (0.94 to 1.70 basal length of skull, except in Triceratops); triangular squamosal bones (length/height ratio = 2.0 to 3.5); prominent longitudinal channel in ventral surface of sacrum; triangular acromial process of the scapula arises about half way along the scapula blade; deep triceps fossa on the caudolateral deltopectoral crest of the humerus; foramen on the caudomedial humerus located dorsal to the apex of the deltopectoral crest; strongly curved ischium. |
