DINO-A-DAY #22: Chasmosaurus

Welcome to Dino-a-Day, where we'll be highlighting one prehistoric beast per day until the release of our graphic novel Evolution: The Story of Life on Earth on January 4, 2011.

Each of the ninety-six creatures we'll be featuring on this blog are taken from a huge 2-page spread in the middle of Evolution. So while you can see each individual creature here, you'll need to grab the book to see them all together!

NAME: Chasmosaurus
PRONUNCIATION: KAZ-muh-SAWR-us
ORDER: Ornithischia
EXISTED DURING: Late Cretaceous
DISCOVERED: Alberta, Canada, 1901
FUN FACT: Chasmosaurus’ large frill was fairly flimsy -- it was merely skin stretched over thin bones, and could not have played much of a role in defense.
