maybe Triceratops blushed at each other a lot? 
This may sound silly since I don't >think< humans have more than other
primates in terms of facial vascularization, yet do use 'blushing' as
a regular means of communication.  If not blushing, could tehre be a
skinflap connected with this extra bllod supply on a Triceratops' head
to erect or inflate or whatever?  Or are these sort of displays not
connected with the type of vascularization that Triceratops shoes?
