Happy #FossilFriday! A close evolutionary cousin of the famous horned dinosaur Triceratops, Styracosaurus had a husky body, with stout legs supporting a barrel-chested torso. It also had huge spikes sticking out from its frill, the bony collar that projects rearward from the skull. See Styracosaurus up close in the Museum’s Hall of Ornithischian Dinosaurs!
