توضیحاتی در مورد کتاب :
سراتوپسیانها که بهراحتی با شاخها و زواید روی جمجمهشان تشخیص داده میشوند، یکی از موفقترین دایناسورها بودند. این جلد طیف وسیعی از تحقیقات پیشرفته را در مورد زیست شناسی عملکردی، رفتار، سیستماتیک، دیرینه بوم شناسی و جغرافیای دیرینه دایناسورهای شاخدار ارائه می دهد و شامل توصیف گونه های تازه شناسایی شده است.

توضیحاتی در مورد کتاب به زبان اصلی :
Easily distinguished by the horns and frills on their skulls, ceratopsians were one of the most successful of all dinosaurs. This volume presents a broad range of cutting-edge research on the functional biology, behavior, systematics, paleoecology, and paleogeography of the horned dinosaurs, and includes descriptions of newly identified species.
