About Ojoceratops--does it have fenestrae or not?

Dennonyx In reply to ElSqiubbonator [2014-04-23 10:05:41 +0000 UTC]

Good question. Therefore, the distribution of fenestrae in some ceratopsids varies widely due to both taphonomic and ontogenetic factors. In Ojoceratops for example we have a skull with squamosal fenestra (qilong.files.wordpress.com/201… and one without (phenomena.nationalgeographic.c… , to evidence of this.

Could you Possibly add Brachyceratops, Coronosaurus, Coronosaurus, Xenoceratops, Ceratops, Agathaumas, Anchiceratops, Arrhinoceratops, Bravoceratops, Dysganus, Judiceratops, Medusaceratops, and Polyonax?

Ummm.... Excuse me, but Bravoceratops is not a valid name for a juvenile version of Rubeosaurus.

Ehm, surely not in the same sheet ^^" (two times repeated Coronosaurus )

Oops,

Also, could I use some of these for my own pictures? I'll give you full credit on the skull.

Certainly just put a link that reports to it ^^

Man ceratopsians really do not differ much aside from horns and frill

You have no idea how helpfull this is for someone like me who rarely draws ceratopsians

Very glad for being helpfull for you and others, thank you ^_^

Your welcome, it goes to show how anatomically correct you can be with felt- tip markers.

Ā 

P.s. Why no dentaries?

Dennonyx In reply to PaleoJoe [2013-10-25 15:56:29 +0000 UTC]

Because most of the specimens shown here lack the lower jaw, so I preferred to avoid to restorate them... Also because within Ceratopsidae the lower jaws are somewhat undiagnostics and most of their autapomorphies are located in the skull.

PaleoJoe In reply to Dennonyx [2013-10-26 15:27:27 +0000 UTC]

In hindsight your right all of autopomorphies are in the skull , but I wonder if there could be a ceratopsian that was only based on a dentary.

No, there is not... (into Ceratopsidae)

I thought maybe Polyonax,or something like it.

Dennonyx In reply to PaleoJoe [2013-10-27 18:50:44 +0000 UTC]

Polyonax is very dubious, and I don't think I have the paper of it xD

PaleoJoe In reply to Dennonyx [2013-10-29 02:33:54 +0000 UTC]

Oh,okay yeah I was just wondering if any of the extremely dubious genera had them.
