Ornithischia / Marginocephalians
|
|
Marginocephalians ("margined heads") are a suborder of
Ornithischian. They were among the most abundant plant-eating
dinosaurs of the Late Cretaceous. They are divided into two
infraorders: the Pachycephalosauria and the Ceratopsia.

Pachycephalosaurus |
Psittacosaurus |
Pachycephalosaurus
The Pachycephalosauria are well represented by the Pachycephalosaurus
It was the largest of the bone-headed dinosaurs. It is known from
only one skull and a few immensely thick skull roofs, all found in the
Western United States. It's very thick skull led to it being named
"Thick-headed lizard". Paleontologists suspect that it acted
like today's big horn sheep in that males used their thick heads to
ram one another, fighting over females. Information extrapolated
from very similar species suggest it was the length of a small car.
Lived 68-65 million years ago. Replica is 7.5" long.
No. LRP15-PA.
Only $5.95
Psittacosaurus
The Ceratopsia ("horned faces") dinosaurs all had a rostral bone that
formed the top tip of a deep narrow, parrot-like beak.
Psittacosaurus ("Parrot Lizard.") stood about six and half feet tall and
lived about 113 million years ago. Replica is 6.5" long.
No. LRP15-PS.

Triceratops |
Styracosaurus |
Triceratops - Blue & Black
One of the earliest known dinosaurs, Triceratops fossils were discovered
in the 1880s, east of the Rocky Mountains in Colorado. It is the
largest known Ceratopsia and was as heavy as an elephant. It had a
massive body and a head as long as an adult human is tall. Two long,
hollow based horns jutted about above its eyes. It also had a
shorter nose horn. This led to its name, which means "Three horned
face."
It was about 29 feet long and lived 67-65 million years ago. Replica
is 7.5" long
No. LRP15-TB.
Only $7.95
Triceratops - Orange & Black
7.5" long. No. LRP15-TO. Only $7.95
Styracosaurus
Another Ceratopsia. The horned dinosaur Styracosaurus ("Spiked
lizard") was so named because of the six long bony spikes that suck out
fanwise from the back of its neck frill. It was about 18 feet long, ate
plants, and lived 75-72 million years ago. Fossils have been found
in Canada and the United States. The replica is 6" long.
It is the same 1:40 scale used throughout the Carnegie Collection.
Replica is 6" long
No. LRP15-ST.
