Mighty Armoured Beasts

The Fossil Gallery starts looking at the various herbivore dinosaurs that employed various defensive techniques against predators. Among them was panoplosaurus, an armoured dinosaur built like a tank. The fossilized skull of one is here.

Here we have a specimen of leptoceratops, an early member of the various horned dinosaurs.

Sometimes more than bone is fossilized.

Some more of the horned dinosaurs. This skull in the foreground is styracosaurus.

Here we have anchiceratops, another of the horned dinosaur family.

And the specimen beside it was the first documented example of its kind- chasmosaurus irvinensis.
