Other than "chasmosaurines are cooler" I don't have much to say that
isn't already said in the paper.  Nothing unpredictable, here.  Just
another damn cool (and old!) ceratopsid.
Nice to be able to finally talk about this thing since the pdf has
been circling about the Internet for weeks.  Too bad all those glaring
spelling mistakes weren't caught by the editor before it went to
press.
And to Michael Barton: you just got your wish!

(P.S. Note that despite what the paper says, Late K dino workers are
coming around to using "Belly River Group" again instead of "Judith
River Group."  Dave Eberth has a paper about this in the new [and
excellent] DPP book.)
