The trouble in paradise came when the French Canadians invaded that area.

The impressive jaw muscles of Centrosaurus allowed it to sheer through extremely tough foliage with ease...

Feed the editor to the velociraptors.

Ahhh.... back when Canada was an equatorial region, and North America was the bottom of an ocean.

mammals would emerge to gnaw on the bones...

Is this the first dinosaur known to have cared about “nice scenery” or has that been established for other species of dinosaurs? Amazing what paleontologists can deduce from bones.

Seems odd, that there are fossil remains in large numbers of these huge animals in close proximity to each other, seemingly buried rather rapidly, their skeletal remains largely intact, not gnawed or scattered by scavenging carnivores.

Not yet reported is that, nearby they also found a giant smoker with remnants of neanderthals, beer cans and BBQ sauce bottle caps.

Might be cow sized, but I’ll bet it still tasted more like chicken than beef.

Wonder if any matador would’ve had the guts to take one of these on? Maybe have to call them doormatadors, if they tried it.

It grieves me to think that there were no humans around to engage in Centrosaurus tipping.

Oh the humanity!
