LordWampa Posted June 24, 2023 Share Posted June 24, 2023 (edited) Hello, as I have seen the spitter tooth with triceratops horridus as id that you can see online from hell creek can only be Id as ceratopsian. Then is this picture correct or is there someplace with the posible ceratopsians from hell creek? Edited June 24, 2023 by LordWampa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correct, but it's most likely not Leptoceratops since their tooth morphology is different From my Faunal listing of the Hell Creek, Lance Formations Ceratopsidae: - Leptoceratops gracilis (Brown 1914) - Leptoceratops sp. (BHI fragmantry material) - Tatankaceratops sacrisonorum (Ott & Larsen 2010) - Torosaurus latus (Marsh 1891) - Triceratops horridus (Marsh 1889) - Triceratops prorsus (Marsh 1890) Others more Problematic: - Triceratops sp 2 (Fowler 2017) (MOR 3027 Yoshi specimen) - Chasmosaurine MOR 1122 7-22-00-1 - ?Ceratopsian indet. (skulls floating around that are claimed to be a new species including: Nedoceratops hatcher, Lance Fm and Duranteceratops, Hell Creek Fm) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordWampa Posted June 24, 2023 Author Share Posted June 24, 2023 Thanks for the answer, you always give the best information. And it's possible to discard Leptoceratops and Tatankaceratops based on the tooth size? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troodon Posted June 24, 2023 Share Posted June 24, 2023 Tatankaceratops is not a Leptoceratopsid so it's teeth should look more other Chasmosaurinae just smaller Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
