Alright, how much do we know about each fragment of skin? The pics (except on trike's case) dont make it much clear where they came from and which parts are left unpreserved, aswell as their full extent,you say they came from the hips and lower tail, but theres a lot inbetween that, im just curious about the extent of our knowledge on these creatures.

There were Cave Hyaenas in Eurasia, but they were a different species from the striped hyaena. |

Chasmosaurus's skin came from around the hips I think. If I'm right, ye can actually see it sticking out through the skin on the left of the b/w pic, and the flanks from the colour pic. Centrosaurus, I have no idea myself. It seems to me to be more from the flanks rather than the hips. But I'm not entirely certain. ... Inb4"thebitswedonthavemayhavebeenquilled". |

Well, yes, but atm we just dont have enough evidence to tell. Its not unplausible, but not backed by anything other than artistic license either. So yes, theres nothing really pointing against quills either im afraid, but its all up to speculation. Edited by Yi Qi, Nov 10 2014, 04:34 PM.

What about that bay Chasmo found last year ? Did it have skin impression too ? |

Except everything we actually do know. I have some further details on the skin impressions after quite literally just skimming wikipedia:
But since the whole quills matter was started byPsittacosaurus, lets tackle this issue at its core:
Quite frankly, to suggest that there were quills on advanced ceratopsians anywhere else other than a row along the tail would be like assuming the whole of Carnotaurus's right side was plumed while the left was scaly. Even then, Monoclonius suggests that even that didn't happen. As for baby chasmosaurus... ![]() Yes. It did. But I can't find anything that says where it came from. So using the released pics: ![]() I'm thinking it's that dark patch on the shoulder. It's hard to say for certain because of the lack of detail. Edited by Incinerox, Nov 10 2014, 06:24 PM.

Ok, i'm convinced, quills were a peculiarity of psittacosaurus and did not appear on anything else, they may have had spines, but not quills, and i'm impressed to see how much overwhelming evidence we have about it. dude, well done! Now i'm curious about what dinosaurs we have impressions of exactly and just how much we have (be them quills, scales, feathers, spines, or anything really) as a casual paleo drawer, i'd love to know so i could represent my dinos more accurately. Seems like it was a good decision to give my Einiosaurus Thick spines rather than bristly quills. Edited by Yi Qi, Nov 10 2014, 07:59 PM.

Just...resist the common temptation to give fluff to absolutely everything. That's the best advice I can give for now.

You'd probably be better off giving Einiosaurus just them rounded scales with rosettes of smaller ones like in Monoclonius. As for other things, gimme a while coz there's a surprisingly HUGE lot. |

Fair enough, altough i didn't knew anything of monoclonius by then, i won't edit that reconstruction tough, atleast as of now, as honestly most of it is speculative (as is most of my stuff really) not only the spines, tough everything among the realm of plausibility.

Dang it Incinerox, you ruined my awesome trike drawing with quills.

Its always bound to happen, a reconstruction we like changing or being disproven, as nature doesn't work to appease human tastes. |

what about tianyulong? doesn't it still leave plausibility of some form of "soft integument" within ceratopsians? |
