		Pentaceratops was a member of the family of dinosaurs known as ceratopsian, of which Triceratops was also a member.
		Pentaceratops gets its name of "Five Horned Face" not because it had five horns, but because it had longer epijugals - the spike-like cheek projections that are present on all ceratopsians to some degree.
		There is some discussion that Chasmosaurus and Pentaceratops belong in the same genus.

	Pentaceratops - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Pentaceratops (meaning "five-horned face" and derived from Greek "penta/πέντα" meaning 'five', "ceras/κέρας" meaning 'horn' and "-ops/ωψ" meaning 'face'
		It may have been a close relative to the ancestor of Torosaurus, which lived a few million years later, right at the end of the Cretaceous period, when all Ceratopsians, indeed all dinosaurs, died out.
		During the Cretaceous, flowering plants were "geographically limited on the landscape", and so it is likely that this dinosaur fed on the predominant plants of the era: ferns, cycads and conifers.

		The Pentaceratops specimen is extremely rare and is known only from the San Juan Basin in New Mexico.
		This specimen is particularly important because it includes a part of the skull that is not normally preserved, which is the most important part for distinguishing the different kinds of ceratopsian dinosaurs.

		Pentaceratops, the "five horned face", is an enormous animal, and possibly the largest of the Ceratopsids (Dodson, 1996).
		Pentaceratops not only has the three horn cores which are the normal complement for any horned dinosaur, but it also has an extra pair formed by the epijugals at the tips of the jugals (Dodson, 1996).
		Typical of all Chasmosaurines, the squamosal bends upward along its length which results in an erect frill.

		'Pentaceratops' meaning 'five horned face' does not seem to be good, because when this Ceratopsidae was discovered the high cheekbones were also included along with the three complete horns, thus it was named so.
		Pentaceratops a late Cretaceous herbivorous dinosaur had three large, strong horns on its frill, which aided during a mortal fight with a deadly predatory dinosaur.

		It grew to a length of 9 meters (about 27 ft.), measured 3-4 meters (10-12 ft.) at the top of its back, and weighed as much as 5 tons (about the same as modern African elephants).
		Triceratops and their kin are often described as exhibiting herding behavior similar to that found in the grazing mammals of East Africa.
		Triceratops and its close relatives (Pentaceratops, Chasmosaurus and Torosaurus) all have long, low faces, and horns over the eyes that are longer than the horns on the nose.

	THE KIRTLANDIAN LAND-VERTEBRATE “AGE”—LATE CRETACEOUS OF WESTERN NORTH AMERICA
		We recently “filled-in” the youngest of these gaps (between the Judithian and Edmontonian) by naming the Kirtlandian LVA based on the vertebrate faunas (Hunter Wash and Willow Wash local faunas) from the Upper Cretaceous Fruitland and Kirtland formations, San Juan Basin, New Mexico.
		Radioisotopic dates confirm that the Kirtlandian spans ~ 2.9 my, and is equivalent to “Bear Paw time.” The Kirtlandian LVA is defined as the time between the first appearance of Pentaceratops sternbergii, (which is also designated as the index taxon for the Kirtlandian) and the first appearance of Pachyrhinosaurus canadensis.
		However, a few dinosaur taxa, notably Pentaceratops sternbergii, Parasaurolophus cyrtocristatus and Kritosaurus navajovius, are now known to occur in other North American vertebrate faunas, thus allowing for biostratigraphic correlation of the Kirtlandian outside of the San Juan Basin, NM.

	chasmosaurinae
		Originally assigned to Chasmosaurus, this species has been difficult to place because it is very similar to Pentaceratops in some ways (although its frill is somewhat shorter and more erect than that of Pentaceratops), and was found far from the classic Chasmosaurus stomping grounds.
		Like Pentaceratops, there is a deep indentation on the rear bar of the frill.
		A large chasmosaurine with a large skull relative to that large body, Pentaceratops has one of the most impressive frills of any ceratopid.

	Delayed Debut for Jumbo Dino Skull -- 282 (5390): 871 -- Science
		The largest skull of any land vertebrate--some 3.1 meters high--is being groomed for public display at the refurbished Sam Noble Oklahoma Museum of Natural History in Norman, Oklahoma.
		The skull of Pentaceratops sternbergi--a five-horned cousin of the three-horned Triceratops--owes its size to the 2-meter bone "frill" evolved to counterbalance its horns.
		"Paleontologists have discovered a half-dozen other Pentaceratops skulls, but none of them are nearly this big," says Richard Cifelli, curator of vertebrate paleontology at the Oklahoma museum, which is scheduled to open in a little over a year.
