depicting Late Cretaceous Mongolia, showing Tarbosaurus (or Tyrannosaurus 
bataar to those who prefer it) menacing a couple of nesting Protoceratops, a 
bunch of hadrosaurs (Tsintaosaurus if I'm not wrong) and most surprisingly, 
a ceratopsid! This painting showed a solitary Styracosaurus, and the caption 
said that it was an as-yet unnamed species (at that time). Any records to 
show that a lage ceratopsian was dug up in the Gobi?? >>

       The restoration you mention here is by the british artist, Neave Parker. The painting originally appeared in "The Illustrated London News" in the late 50's or early 1960's, I guess. The hadrosaurs are Saurolophus. The extremely flamboyant ceratopsian is "based only on a fragment of probable ankylosaur bone", according to Don Glut in his caption for this painting in his_The New Dinosaur Dictionary_(1982). DV
