At last! After lacking a good Torosaurus for a long time, and losing hope with each offering of a new Triceratops, PNSO has delivered with a Torosaurus to have and to hold! • And what a Torosaurus. In terms of anatomical detail, sculpting, a mean frill pattern, and texturing that is improved even from the recent Triceratops Doyle, this is PNSO at its best, offering continual improvement even when most unexpected! • This Torosaurus captures all the detail that makes Torosaurus, Torosaurus. Unambiguously so, from the frill to the lack of a midline epiparietal, which means you can proudly display it as a well-defined, specimen of an entirely distinct genus from Triceratops. • We now have a new chasmosaurine to add to the Triceratops, and this bodes very well for the selection from PNSO indeed. Just a Chasmosaurus more, and I will consider myself satisfied for now. • The Triceratops is Torosaurus is an old controversy that still rears its ugly head from time to time, and with this offering, PNSO has taken a stand, even including a baby Torosaurus in what must seem like a slap to that theory. Still, the whole story is fascinating, and you should check out the articles below for some racy reading. • Scannella J, Horner JR (2010) Torosaurus Marsh, 1891 is Triceratops, Marsh, 1889 (Ceratopsidae: Chasmosaurinae) synonymy through ontogeny.
