There is a world somewhere between reality and fiction. Although ignored by many, it is very real and so are those living in it. This forum is about the natural world. Here, wild animals will be heard and respected. The forum offers a glimpse into an unknown world as well as a room with a view on the present and the future. Anyone able to speak on behalf of those living in the emerald forest and the deep blue sea is invited to join.

About the skull of Titanosaurus ouranus, it seems that Lehman (1998) exagerated a little in his estimation of over 3 meters long.

According with Longrich (2010) the skull would measured 2.65 m in total length, check the full image:

This is the figure 4:

So, it seems that with 2,77 m, the skull of Torosaurus latus MOR 981 still hold the title..... for the moment. Confused After all, where we left the huge Eotriceratops xerinsularis?

Accrording with Wu et al. (2007) they estimated a total skull length of about 3 meters long, but as we can see in the reconstruction of "GetAwayTrike" the skull is even more fragmentary than Titanoceratops ouranus, so its real size is an educated guess. Check the reconstruction and a compared with a human.

As we can see, the world of the giant ceratopcids is incredible, and it seems that Triceratops is not the only giant in the family.
