Chasmosaurus was a member of the Ceratopsian family of dinosaurs. It lived in North America and grew to about 8m in length. A plant eater, it had a bony beak for breaking off and chewing tough vegetation such as ferns. Chasmosaurus had an enormous frill on its neck, which was perhaps used to signal to other members of its species.
