This weeks #Lego #FossilFriday is #Achelousaurus
The skull of Achelousaurus were found in 1987 by Sidney M. Hostetter, working alongside Jack Horner.
In 1988 and 1989 several more examples were found, including one thought to be a subadult.
My 1st attack this year is on ember-newcomer ! This is their character Ambrosia the Achelousaurus. Couldn't pass up on drawing a new dinosaur genus.

Montanoceratops (MOR 542): fossil of a ceratopsian "horned dinosaur" imbedded in earth material.
Happy #FossilFriday! #Montanoceratops (#MOR542) is just one of many #ceratopsians (“horned dinosaurs”) discovered in the #Cretaceous outcrops of #Montana. This small plant-eating #dinosaur was a distant relative of much larger ceratopsians like #Achelousaurus and #Triceratops.

Lego fossil Achelousaurus
Achelousaurus horneri skull, collected in Glacier County, Montana, at the Museum of the Rockies in Bozeman, Montana. The Ceratopsidae are those dinosaurs with head frills. There are three large subgroups of Ceratopsidae: Centrosaurinae, Ceratopsinae, and Chasmosaurinae. The Triceratopsini are a "tribe" of the Chasmosaurinae -- a genus so vast that it gets the special name "tribe". The Pachyrhinosaurini are a "tribe" within the Centrosaurinae. Achelousaurus is a genus within the Pachyrhinosaurini. So far, only three skulls and some limited skeletal remains have been collected anywhere in the world -- and all of them in Montana. Their bony frills are quite similar to the Styracosaurus albertensis, although their other skull features (such as big bony bosses on the nose and behind the eyes) are not.
