Styracosaurus is a dinosaur which lived approximately 75 million years ago during the late Cretaceous Period. Its name means “spiked lizard” and it was first discovered in 1913 by Lawrence Lambe near what is now Alberta, Canada. Since that initial discovery, several fossil finds of this dinosaur has been found, including a mega-bone yard of about 100 Styracosaurus dinosaurs that was discovered in Arizona.

Styracosaurus was approximately 16-18 feet long, 6 feet tall at the shoulders at weighed around 3 to 5 tons. It was an herbivore that had a frill that emanating from the back of its skull. This frill had 6 spikes that came out of the edge of it. It also had a nose horn, and 2 smaller horns that were over its eyes. All of these horns probably provided this herbivore with the defense capabilities it needed to fend off predators.
