For one thing, being a ceratopsian "without a frill" would make it a very primitive form. Unfortunately, the only known ceratopsians of that type lack obvious facial horns and were partly bipedal. Likewise, fossils from multiple ceratopsians feature scales, armored knobs, and bristles on the back and tail. Since these appear both in basal and advanced ceratopsians, it is likely that they were universal in the group. The fact that they aren't described makes it unlikely that Emela-ntouka and the creature depicted in the statue are ceratopsians.<br /><br />Beat regards,<br />Tyler StoneTyler Stonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03510615325159242706noreply@blogger.com
