Certain herbivore dinosaurs had their own evolutionary defenses- armored bodies.
This included the panaplosaurus, a walking tank.
This is the fossilized skull of one.
We start getting into the various horned dinosaurs now.
Leptoceratops was a member of the horned dinosaurs, but without the horns, living at the same time as its cousins. A case with fossils of one such dinosaur is contained above this panel.
Here we have the dinosaur most of us think of first- triceratops.
There were others, such as chasmosaurus, each with differing looks, but similarities too.
I leave off here. Tomorrow we finish up this series.
The horns are impressive! Take care, have a great week!

DeleteDinosaurs are fascinating. My kids used to love learning about them.
ReplyDeleteI've always found them intriguing.
DeleteYikes! Can you just imagine being confronted by one of these on your hike in the woods?
ReplyDeleteThat would intimidate.
DeleteThose skeletons look like they would've been huge and scary in real life.
ReplyDeleteOur equivalents in this day andvage would be elephants, rhinos, gators, bears, and Moose.
