Description
A medium sized ceratopsian, Pentaceratops was about 6-7 meters (18-21) feet in length. It was similar in appearance to Chasmosaurus russeli, albeit with a larger skull and brow horns, and is likely synonymous with Titanoceratops ouranos, which was originally described as a large specimen of Pentaceratops to begin with. The name means Sternberg's Five-horned face, but this is misleading, as the "Five-horned" part comes from the epijugal bones, which look similar to another pair of horns. Like most chasmosaurines, it had only 3 horns. It lived in the late Cretaceous in the U.S, and was first found in the Kirtland Formation.

A personal favorite of mine!
