Ceratopsian postcranial anatomy varies throughout the clade. Psittacosauridae, a clade of small herbivores known only from the Early Cretaceous of Asia, share the diagnostic ceratopsian rostral bone with the other members of Ceratopsia. Psittacosaurs are characterized by long hind limb elements, relatively short
Stenopelix (meaning "narrow pelvis") is a genus of small marginocephalian dinosaur, possibly a basal ceratopsian, from the Early Cretaceous of Germany. It lived in the late Berriasian Stage of the Cretaceous period, approximately 140 myr ago. [1]

The limbs of ceratopsians of all sizes display substantial joint flexure, strongly indicating that the elephantine forelimb posture that has sometimes been suggested as the alternative to a sprawling posture is erroneous.
2024年7月2日 · Key Points: •Marginocephalia is a clade of herbivorous ornithischians characterized by an expansion of the bones at the rear of the skull. There are two major clades within it: Pachycephalosauria and Ceratopsia. •Pachycephalosaurs are currently only known from the Cretaceous of Asia and North America.
Leptoceratops (meaning 'small horn face') is a genus of ceratopsian dinosaur from the Late Cretaceous of North America. First found in Alberta in 1910, the type species Leptoceratops gracilis was named in 1914 by Barnum Brown for a partial skull and skeleton of two individuals found in the Scollard Formation of Alberta.
2021年3月1日 · This shows that while ceratopsians and theropod dinosaurs show similar sexual differences in the robustness of the vertebrae and the height of the pelvic canal (characters 4 and 15), they have clearly different patterns of dimorphism in pelvic width.

9) A is the pelvis of Triceratops in left lateral view. Like other ceratopsids, but unlike more primitive ceratopsians and most other ornithischians, the pubis and ischium can move together as a unit. As the rectus abdominis (RA) muscle contacted, it …
