Torosaurus never existed!

If they lied about Torosaurus' existence, how can we know that all of it wasn't a lie? Did dinosaurs even exist, or are those actually dragon bones? Why is the international scientific community so hell-bent on suppressing the truth about dragons? What are they hiding?

Thanks for the update, Eugenitor. I'm sure most of us have never heard that particular timeless story about the Brontosaurus.

Okay, so, today this girl I know-Lauren, just took a sudden dis-interest in talking to me. Is she just on her period or something?

Jesus Christ what's that red one.

Also, I'm confused. Doesn't this article imply that Triceratops doesn't exist, since it would be the younger version of a Torosaurus?

This being Homestuck, I'm not sure whether that's post-scratch Rose or Vriska with a wig.

Triceratops is better known than Torosaurus. Thus, Torosaurus is older version of Triceratops. Would make more sense for it to be the other way around.

Apparently it doesn't have a common name... also, here's a picture of it next to some other dinosaurs:

Stuff like this happens alot with paleontology, in fact, its often not until many years later after there have been enough study on the bones or until someone digs up a more complete specimen.

It can also happen in cases where there is a great deal of sexual dimorphism.

Anyways, wasn't triceratops one of the earliest to be described? If anything, Torosaurus could be a subspecies and keep its identity that way.

NO. WAY. This is BULLSHIT.

I thought Torosaurus was defined by its longer, heavier, skull and frill. GOD DAMMIT SCIENCE, STOP RUINING MY FUCKING MIRACLES.

This is just another plot by the time traveling pope to make it so the dinosaurs were a hoax.
