roosaurusrin:Ceratopsians of Bozeman’s Museum of the Rockies. The pictures include a growth series, a side by side comparison of a T. horridus and a T. prorsus, a Torosaurus, and an Achelousaurus.Apparently there is an interesting debate going on where paleontologists at the Museum of the Rockies believe the fossils with the holes in them are adult triceratops, with the holes developing to reduce skull weight, while scientists from Yale believe they are a different species called Torosaurus. The response the MOR scientists have given to the Yale group has been - find a juvenile Torosaurus, with holes in the skull. -- source link
