Spiked lizard
Styracosaurus, a familiar horned dinosaur of moderate proportions, is known only from the 76,000,000-year-old strata of Dinosaur Provincial Park, Alberta. A few articulated specimens have been discovered there, as well as concentrations of tumbled styracosaurus bones, which are suggestive of mass mortality. Resembling the rhinoceros in general appearance, horned dinosaurs did not hold their forelimbs directly beneath their bodies, and their jaws were adapted to chop, rather than grind, plant food.
Many different horned dinosaurs of varying sizes and horn shapes are known from North America. Their ability to defend themselves is reflected in the presence of a bony lattice-work protecting the stomachs of the tyrannosaurs.
