Chris Campbell has "been skeptical of the idea of using the horns for
intraspecific competiton" in ceratopsians. I believe that there are many
instances of cranial injuries in Triceratops at least. The left jugal in the
giant specimen in the Science Museum of St. Paul (Minnesota) has a rather
spectacular puncture wound. I have heard of broken horns. Can anyone add to a
list of ceratopsian injuries? I'd like to hear of any more specific cases. Is
Tanke still out there?This would seem to be right up his alley.
