Here’s mine: Lokiceratops. Named after the trickster God Loki from Norse Mythology? Instantly peak.
Aside from Lokiceratops tho, I also love Psittactosaurus, Wendiceratops, Triceratops and Titanoceratops.

We already knew that the Dinosaurs; both theropods and others were truly social; akin to crocodilians and avians....

.... but we have ever more evidence
[ ◊ ] Tl;dr : Planet Dinosaur is throughly based. It has proven correct once more !
'''' In July 2024, Bell and an international team of colleagues visited the park for a field course. While there, they discovered a set of at least 20 full and partial dinosaur footprints preserved in a roughly 312-square-foot section of sediment. But unlike past finds, the tracks didn’t all belong to one type of dinosaur. Instead, paleontologists eventually matched them to multiple different species.
A total of 13 prints were linked to at least five ceratopsian (horned) dinosaurs walking side-by-side, while another grouping likely indicates the presence of an ankylosaurid among them. One footprint also appears to belong to a small, unidentified carnivorous species.
“It was incredibly exciting to be walking in the footsteps of dinosaurs 76 million years after they laid them down,” recalled University of Reading paleontologist and study co-author Brian Pickles. '''''

'''' Zoologists believe blended animal communities function as a means of mutual defense against predators. Recently discovered footprints in Alberta, Canada, have led paleontologists to speculate that dinosaurs may have similarly participated in multi-species herding patterns.
According to Popular Science, a team of international colleagues visited the park for a field course and discovered at least 20 full and partial dinosaur footprints preserved in an approximately 312-square-foot section of sediment. Notably, unlike previous discoveries, the footprints belonged to multiple species of dinosaurs.

Did some research on an insanely underrated (albeit dubious) ceratopsian, Ceratops montanus!
Sketched it by both depictions it has; Marsh's, a stegosaur with horns on the back of its head and a modern take, based on Avaceratops, which it might be closely related to.
This new dinosaur is called Lokiceratops! The Holotype has an Asymmetrical Frill!

This dinosaur was just named two days ago. Although you can't see it because of the direction it's facing, this Lokiceratops I'm drawing doesn't have the asymmetrical horn because it's not specifically supposed to be the holotype individual, just a basic Lokiceratops.

I'm here bringing a new kind of sketch to Dinopedia!
My art class had introduced cross hatching and pointillism as art forms, and the instructor wanted us to draw something using either method. I went with pointillism (I found it to be easier).
This Montanoceratops is the result of it.
I was originally going to make it Protoceratops, but changed it as Montanoceratops deserves more recognition.
Thanks to @SheepAlt for helping me decide if I color it or leave it, it looks great black and white.

In the episode A Visit from Thomas, originally named Oliversaurus after the excavator Oliver who found the fossiler (not to be confused with the number 11 engine also named Oliver).
This post is now open to Thomas and Friends and Dino fans alike!
The Longhorn (Megacornusaurus Colossus) is a gigantic chasmosaurine that's even bigger than a Spiked Behemoth (which is a centrosaurine). They are larger than Spiked Behemoths because they need to be able to fight Armored Tyrants, which are much bigger than Raptor Tyrants (which hunt Spiked Behemoths).
Spiked Behemoths (Styracotitan Horridus) are ceratopsians that is supposed to be kind of like a cross between a Styracosaurus and a Diabloceratops. They live in mountains and temperate forests. They are big enough to easily kill a Raptor-Tyrant (a megaraptoran from the mountains and temperate forests that I haven't drawn yet).
Yeah, there's this funky little green ceratopsian above the bottom right corner's Edmont
Nothing much more to say. I thought it was funny
Thanks Reddit for showing me this
