History
The
predentary.[5]
This opinion stood until the work of
squamosal of Triceratops.[6] This information reached Donald F. Glut's series of dinosaur encyclopedias in a confusing form; its entry states that a squamosal and tooth from South Dakota were referred to the genus, and these are what Brett-Surman and Lawson identified, keeping the supposed beak remains separate.[7] Additionally, other major reviews have left the genus as an indeterminate hadrosaurid.[8][9]
