Of the various types of dinosaur fossils, there is a species of dinosaur that is very spectacular and famous, namely ceratopsoans, horned dinosaurs. One type is a Triceratops, a horned dinosaur known as the most frequently appeared in various films of the dinosaurs.
1. Kosmoceratops

One of the last dinosaur fossil is found, we put in the first place. Because of this Kosmoceratops have at least 13 horns on his head.!! (15 if you count the horns on the jaw.). Scientists call it "the most beautiful dinosaur" because jewelry is very much,. Horn - horn in front of his face is the horn that is not visible to attack, but rather used to frighten predators and competitors. Dinosaur, which lived in North America, fossils were found in Utah, a state in western America.
2. Coahuilaceratops

3. Rubeosaurus

Rubeosaurus formerly included in species Styracosaurus. Rumbainya horn size in less than Styracosaurus, but the horn on his nose is huge, so it deserves to be called a very dangerous weapon. Unlike the horns in Rhinoceros, which overall is made of keratin (a protein constituent of hair and nails), Rubeosaurus, and most ceratopsians,composed of of cells filled the bone , which is covered by keratin . Keratin usually can not be a fossil, it is estimated that this ceratopsians horns longer and sharper by the time he was alive than on its fossils have been discovered. Unfortunately, without the remaining keratin layers, can not be the actual size can be estimated. Rubeosaurus part of this unique horn is the horn that is in the top rumbainya. There are a pair of horns that meet each other, thus forming a triangle.
4. Diabloceratops

Diabloceratops means "horned demon face." Fossils were found in Utah. This dinosaur had a small horn on the nose., But a very large horn on his forehead, and the horn that is in rumbainya far greater.
Fourth sedan that, with two horns on the forehead, making his appearance very strange, very different from other dinosaurs ever found. Diabloceratops estimated as a primitive horned dinosaur, because it has some similarities with protoceratosids anatomy. His jaw is very solid and strong, and the horn and the body is very sturdy, it is estimated that these dinosaurs use it against predators that threaten them.
5. Einiosaurus

6. Styracosaurus

Although this is one dinosaur dinosaur classic and has been known since 1913, Styracosaurus has made himself as one of ceratposians spectacular. He has a long and dangerous sebua tandukyang on the snout, and six others in the rumbainya horn (so that means he was given the spiny reptiles). These dinosaurs look very scary, so it is possible a lot of predators who do not dare to directly deal with these dinosaurs. Dinosaurs are approximately 5.5 meters in length weighing about 3 tons. Fossils were found in Canada.
7. Pentaceratops

Pentaceratops often said to have the largest skull of any land animal (although meungkin Torosaurus and Eotriceratops able to compete). His name means "five-horned face. " Actually there might be wrong calculations and estimates, because the two horns which is, actually a bone epujugal (like spines arising from the bone near his eye) that many are owned ceratopsians, but its size is very large at this Pentaceratops. Rumbainya have two holes or "fenestrae" are covered by the skin while still alive.
Paleontology Experts yakn that these brightly colored skin and used to frighten predators and challenge rivals in the same species. There's even a berspelulasi that they are able to change the color and complexion of the skin is like a chameleon. This dinosaur found in Mexico, with a length of 8 feet and weighing 5.5 tons.
8. Medusaceratops

9. Pachyrinosaurus

10. Eotriceratops

Eotriceratops was named in 2007, which means "early Triceratops", because it is similar to Triceratops, but lived millions of years earlier. Sejan famous Triceratops, Eotriceratops view (a typical fringe, two horns in the eye and a horn in the nose) becomes very familiar. But there is one thing that makes this dinosaur special, namely its size! He is ceratopsian largest ever, according to paleontological research experts, judging from the size of the skull bones along the 3-meter and the same weight with a car, this animal is possible to have a length of about 90-10 meters and weighing more than Tyranosaurus rex. These dinosaurs lived in Canada 68 years ago.
