Don't see the resemblance really ~~ the stem is ceratops, which means "horn face", so the name fits very well with this dinosaur's characteristics. And it was found in korea, so its the koreaceratops. | ||

![[image loading]](http://img138.imageshack.us/img138/3117/jaedongceratops.jpg) Since Jaedong is Hwaseung anyway, we might as well set things straight! EDIT: nevermind, I didn't notice Hwaseong/Hwaseung difference... On December 07 2010 06:04 Latham wrote: I swear that's the dumbest name I've heard yet. Triceratops huh? Don't see the resemblance really ~~ The beak-like mouth of this dinosaur looks like one on a triceratops. The bone structures are probably similar too. | ||

Remember that body length in quadrupeds counts the snout and tail; based on this artist's conception, this critter had a small snout and a large tail. Given that its tail was most likely a fraction of its total body weight, I think it's perfectly reasonable that the length and weight numbers are what they are. To make a modern day comparison, the largest gray wolves can reach a snout-to-tail length of about 83 inches (7 feet), but weigh something like 95 pounds. | ||

Many dinosaurs were rather nimble and possibly ancestors of birds, some of then may have had hollow bones. | ||

C'mon, don't make this a friggin' religious debate for no reason. This topic is about dinosaurs from Korea, not supreme beings. Don't instigate when it isn't required, please. | ||
