Styracosaurus is a horned dinosaur from the Late Cretaceous of Alberta, about 75 million years ago. A centrosaurine ceratopsian, Styracosaurus is famous for its long nasal horn and a striking neck frill fringed with several long, outward-radiating spikes. Eema, an anthropomorphized Styracosaurus, was featured as a main character in Disney’s year-2000 movie Dinosaur (an underrated classic, some would say).
