Skulls of the three species compared: P. perotorum (with inaccurate epiparietal placement), P. canadensis, and P. lakustai Pachyrhinosaurus canadensis, was described in 1950 by Charles Mortram Sternberg based on the holotype incomplete skull NMC 8867, and the paratype incomplete skull NMC 8866, which included the anterior part of the skull but was lacking the right lower mandible, and the "beak".
The Gorgosaurus heads back to its cave, fatally wounded with a broken leg. As the sun rises the next morning, Scar is becoming weaker and the Quetzalcoatlus that follows senses it. The young dinosaur hears a rustling noise, which turns to be the injured female Pachyrhinosaurus instead. The pterosaur gives up as the ceratopsian herd arrives to ...

New Scientist reported that "no evidence has yet been found" to suggest that Pachyrhinosaurus or Gorgosaurus were feathered. [34] Director Cook said of the Gorgosaurus , "We decided that we wouldn't put feathers on that one, but we did give that dinosaur iridescent scales."
Several referred teeth have since been found to belong to already known species, and the holotype itself could belong to Gorgosaurus. Dracorex hogwartsia: Described as a small, flat-headed pachycephalosaur. However, it is likely that it is just a juvenile Pachycephalosaurus. Drinker nisti: May be a synonym of Nanosaurus.
Mounted skeletons of Tyrannosaurus (left) and Apatosaurus (right) at the AMNH. Dinosaurs are a diverse group of reptiles of the clade Dinosauria. They first appeared during the Triassic period, between 243 and 233.23 million years ago, although the exact origin and timing of the evolution of dinosaurs is the subject of active research.
Before the formal description of Nanuqsaurus, numerous tyrannosaurid teeth were known from the Kogosukruk Tongue of the Prince Creek Formation and were first referred to the genus Gorgosaurus. [1] Later, after the locale was understood to be younger than previously thought, the consensus switched to referring to the teeth under the genus ...
