Re: Cerasinops's tail

[Christopher Collinson <thats_mr_annoying_to_you@yahoo.com>]

I would just like to point out that this is not
Cerasinops, it Montanaceratops, or at least its
supposed to be. Its very very bad all around, and
people need to stop reading too much into display
mounts they are almost universally horrible, and even
good ones are subject to missalignments and such due
to distortions in the original bone /end rant.

Cheers,
Christopher Collinson
