Centrosaurus was a large, herbivorous dinosaur that lived in North America during the Late Cretaceous Period, approximately 76 to 70 million years ago. This dinosaur is famous for its single, prominent nasal horn, which could curve forward or backward depending on the individual, giving each Centrosaurus a slightly different appearance.

Centrosaurus had a large, parrotlike, toothless beak with a horny covering, supported by strong jaws and powerful muscles, making it perfectly adapted for grazing on tough vegetation. Behind the beak, its teeth were ideal for grinding and chewing hard plant material, allowing it to feed efficiently in its environment.

The frill of Centrosaurus was moderately long, with large fenestrae (openings) and smaller, hornless projections along the edges. This unique frill likely served multiple purposes, including defense against predators, species recognition, and display during social interactions.

Centrosaurus is an important representative of the ceratopsian dinosaurs, showcasing the diversity of horned dinosaurs in the Late Cretaceous and providing valuable insight into herbivorous dinosaur anatomy and behavior.
