Description
Upper Oldman:Taxa I could not scale: "Anchiceratops".
Tooth Taxa: Nodosaurid, Troodontid, Richardoestesia, Saurornitholestine.
Taxa I excluded for any other reason: Leidyosuchus canadensis, Palaeosaniwa sp.

Lower Oldman:
Taxa I could not scale: Ankylosaurid, Hadrosaur/Hadrosaurs, Nodosaurid, Pachycephalosaurid.
Tooth taxa = I'm not scaling them: Saurornitholestine, Troodontid and Richardoestesia.
Taxa I excluded for any other reason: Palaeosaniwa sp.
Note:
01-Modifications on Wendiceratops: there are no evidence of browhorns the paper skeleton had them and everyone still put them there because more basal taxa like Albertaceratops and Nasutoceratopsins have them, since it is mostly found to be sister to Sinoceratops I decided to not add them. The nose horn is know from a broken shard and may have many formats, I chose this more classic from again because of Sinoceratops.
02-The Orodromine is based on specimen TMP 2008.045.0002

Edit 02/June/2018: The Oldman material I saw refered to Mojoceratops is in fact now regarded as Chasmosaurinae indet. Aff. Mojoceratops; so the name is changes accordingly.

I use GIMP 2
Trace a line around the refereed skeleton and make the color of the silhouette being completely opaque (black). Than I just change the color whenever I want to use the silhouette for a chart.

The first reason was that I couldn't find the paper, only this citation:
NATIONAL MUSEUM OF CANADA; LAGSTON, W. Jr. Anchiceratops from the Oldman Formation of Alberta. 1959.
And the second one is that this assignment was done in a very old paper and the taxonomy of said specimen would be likely to change if it got a new analysis, so even if I found pictures of it to scale I'd not have a reliable base animal for scaling this supposed "Anchiceratops" specimen.

There is material from the formation that was referred to Anchiceratops, but is is too old to be from said taxa.

Because it is too old to be Anchiceratops.

Otherwise, this is very helpful thank you. I know David Evans personally actually; I'm not kidding, he and are part of "Friends of Paleo" at the ROM. I will ask him what he thinks of your modifications.

Thanks, I'd love the opportunity.
So here the paper skeleton, and why I change stuff:
01-I took of the brow horns of because they where never found, the material is from a bonebed and I don't know if all was described but it was not described in the paper. Giving it brow horns is understandable since more basal Centrosaurines like Albertaceratops and Xenoceratops have those, but since Wendiceratops is mostly found sister to Sinoceratops that does not have those I decided to not add them.
02-The nose horn is know only from a broke shaft, so different forms for the entire horn are possible. Again cause of Sinoceratops I decided giving it the more traditional Centrosaurus-like nose horn.

He said that "It's a good possibility but we would need direct evidence to be completely sure".

Sure there is room for interpretation.
