Dinosaurs hub
Recent research findings were added. The scientific description was revised. Weight estimate changed from 2200 kg to 2500 kg.
Recent research emphasizes a significant taxonomic cleanup, reassigning many previously attributed specimens to other ankylosaurid genera like Dyoplosaurus. Current studies focus on refined phylogenetic analyses which distinguish Euoplocephalus tutus from its contemporaries thro…
Pachycephalosaurus

Dinosaurs hub
Recent research findings were added. The scientific description was revised.
Recent research suggests that Pachycephalosaurus underwent significant cranial changes during ontogeny, confirming that Dracorex and Stygimoloch are likely juvenile stages of this species. New studies on their cranial histology indicate they likely engaged in non-lethal head-but…
Centrosaurus
Updated Oct 9, 2026
Dinosaurs hub
Recent research findings were added. The scientific description was revised. Length estimate changed from 6 m to 5.5 m. Weight estimate changed from 2700 kg to 1100 kg.
Recent research using bone histology on large bonebeds in the Dinosaur Park Formation has confirmed that Centrosaurus exhibited gregarious behavior, living in massive herds that likely crossed rivers. Paleontologists have also utilized these mass mortality events to better disti…
Triceratops
Updated Oct 9, 2026
Dinosaurs hub
Recent research findings were added. The scientific description was revised. Length estimate changed from 9 m to 8.5 m. Weight estimate changed from 13000 kg to 8500 kg.
Recent studies in the Hell Creek Formation suggest that Triceratops prorsus maintained a distinct chronological lineage from T. horridus, with research highlighting significant ontogenetic changes in horn and frill morphology. New biomechanical simulations indicate that their co…
Nothosaurus
Updated Oct 9, 2026
Encyclopedia
Recent research findings were added. The scientific description was revised.
Recent studies have focused on the osteohistology of Nothosaurus mirabilis, revealing growth patterns that suggest a semi-aquatic lifestyle with significant metabolic shifts during ontogeny. New isotope analysis of dental enamel from specimens found in the Germanic Basin provide…
