    I know it’s been debated back and forth with a lot of the ceratopsian dinosaurs. Torosaurus was the one they think/thought is the adult version of a triceratops. I’m not sure where the consensus stands now though.

      Consensus is probably not.

      • We don’t have transition forms
      • We probably have young Torosaurs (which are not Triceratops)
      • Holes in the skull would have to form atypically late for ceratopsidae
      • some other stuff I forgot
