Talk:Stegoceras

More species?
I have a personal record of other species, S. browni. Can anyone else verify this? Ninjatacoshell 17:55, 13 April 2007 (UTC)
 * That's the type of Ornatotholus, a perpetual issue which is seemingly settling on "juvenile Stegoceras". J. Spencer 21:33, 13 April 2007 (UTC)

Vertebrae
Apparently, Stegoceras has "reinforced" interlocking vertebrae that prevents twisting, which some have interpreted as a shock absorber and use this as evidence for head butting. I don't see this mentioned in the article. Was this in error, or is it true? Star Hound (talk) 20:29, 8 April 2010 (UTC)

Shelp? o.O
I don't know much about anatomy or dinosaurs, but on the Internet I found only the term "parietosquamosal shelf", as in the article "Sphaerotholus". Could someone change it, I'm not sure if I'm right. --77.77.250.84 (talk) 21:34, 30 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Took care of it; thank you ! (also found some other typos). J. Spencer (talk) 01:11, 31 March 2012 (UTC)

New paper
Just a heads-up: a new paper from the original describers re-asserts the validity of S. novomexicanum. Lythronaxargestes (talk) 02:01, 20 November 2016 (UTC)
 * Yeah, just saw it at the DML, was expected, I'll tweak the text today... FunkMonk (talk) 07:56, 20 November 2016 (UTC)

Yet another new paper..... this time, S. brevis is now renamed to Foraminacephale. I'm working on that page at present. Lythronaxargestes (talk) 03:42, 26 November 2016 (UTC)
 * Yeah, while writing this article, I realised the holotype was figured here as a specimen of Stegoceras, so I made two images from it... FunkMonk (talk) 20:03, 27 November 2016 (UTC)
 * Anyone got that paper, by the way? I think there might be some info that could be stuck into this article... FunkMonk (talk) 10:41, 28 November 2016 (UTC)


 * Speaking of new papers, there's a new paper out suggesting that heterodontosaurs are basal pachycephalosaurs, which should lend support to our feathered Stegoceras restoration, which there was some debate about... FunkMonk (talk) 23:35, 22 July 2020 (UTC)
 * And another new paper I'll leave here for now, about feeding ecology: FunkMonk (talk) 19:59, 18 October 2021 (UTC)

Pronunciation
I'm boldly moving the pronunciation here, as the given pronunciation is 100% wrong:  It's missing stress, and the end "-as" is guaranteed to not be pronounced with an "oh" vowel. Feel free to re-insert with a fixed pronunciation. The template source code is in the source of this paragraph.–Jérôme (talk) 14:04, 26 February 2018 (UTC)
 * No problem for me, especially since it was unsourced anyway. FunkMonk (talk) 15:06, 26 February 2018 (UTC)
