Interesting artist’s conception. It makes it look like the dino had eyes like a chameleon, that could move independently of each other.

Re: “. . . The left squamosal has a pronounced dorsal ridge with a single dorsal squamosal process and large episquamosal undulations, a typical characteristic of Centrosaurinae.” I know, TMI.”

That shows up the appeal of creationists’ “kinds” which are mostly based on simple, external resemblances a 4-year old human can recognize: horsy, doggy, birdie. Oh, and nothing large can possibly have evolved from a small ancestor.
