New Perspectives on Horned Dinosaurs

Description

An essential resource for current information on the ceratopsians

Easily distinguished by the horns and frills on their skulls, ceratopsians were one of the most successful of all dinosaurs. This volume presents a broad range of cutting-edge research on the functional biology, behavior, systematics, paleoecology, and paleogeography of the horned dinosaurs, and includes descriptions of newly identified species.

PREFACE
Horned dinosaurs (ceratopsians) are among the best-loved and better-known groups within the Dinosauria. We are still learning more about them every day, which is why the Ceratopsian Symposium was convened at the Royal Tyrrell Museum of Palaeontology (Drumheller, Alberta) on September 22–24, 2007. The symposium was a joint venture among three groups: (1) Don Brinkman, Dave Eberth, and Phil Currie from the Royal Tyrrell Museum in Alberta (most of you are aware that Phil is now at the University of Alberta); (2) Michael Ryan from the Cleveland Museum of Natural History; and (3) Brenda Chinnery-Allgeier from the University of Texas at Austin. With so many new specimens and putatively new taxa starting to appear, as well as the unveiling of a new exhibit dedicated to ceratopsians at the Tyrrell Museum, we realized that it was an opportune time to bring together the community of horned-dinosaur workers (and lovers) to share in these discoveries, and to explore the significance of the new data. Moreover, with so many graduate students exploring new and old ideas about ceratopsians and applying emerging and new technologies in their studies, there was no question that the symposium would be lively, exciting, and challenging.
The symposium was a resounding success. Over the course of two days of talks in a filled-to-capacity auditorium (~190 participants), and a day in the field with the Tyrrell research team, we learned about recent discoveries,
