This weeks #Lego #FossilFriday is #Chasmosaurus

Discovered in Canada in 1898 by Lawrence Morris Lambe of the Geological Society of Canada. He named Monoclonius belli.

In 1913, Charles Hazelius Sternberg and his sons found several complete skulls. They tried to reclassify it as Protorosaurus, but that name was used by a Permian reptile.
Forced to rename it again, they settled on Chasmosaurus, meaning "Opening" "Lizard".
