For instance, the squamosal and premaxilla both clearly indicate a centrosaurine afilliation. And since we have forms like Albertaceratops and the soon to be named "last chance creek ceratopsian", and basal ceratopsids like Zuniceratops, a centrosaurine with brow horns is not unexpected.Christopherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01159108424094927362noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38902250.post-50662271754951197032009-07-13T13:08:09.986-07:002009-07-13T13:08:09.986-07:00As alluded to by Nick, the "parietal fenestra...As alluded to by Nick, the "parietal fenestrae" you mention for Triceratops are "just" the dorsotemporal (supratemporal) fenestrae, the same as in every other ceratopsid (and indeed, pretty much every other diapsid). The confusion in appearance arises from the fact that the fenestrae are often (almost always) never completely prepped out. In these guys, the primary bones bordering the dorsotemporal fenestrae are the squamosals laterally, the parietals posteriorly and medially and also a little bit anteriorly.Andyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16171447306687358664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38902250.post-22775979980817779342009-07-13T06:42:52.341-07:002009-07-13T06:42:52.341-07:00I'd also throw the Lacrimal into the mix of an...I'd also throw the Lacrimal into the mix of antorbital fenestra forming bones.<br /><br />That said, theropod parietals are pathetic... though they certainly make up for it in other aspects of bad assetry.Tor Bertinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05243812178214071957noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38902250.post-26262281419849466352009-07-12T19:15:12.885-07:002009-07-12T19:15:12.885-07:00"While the former has a truly solid frill (on..."While the former has a truly solid frill (one wonders where the jaw muscles attached)"<br /><br />at the top of the adductor chamber, wherever that is.Nickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08718847558790015112noreply@blogger.com
