Subdivisions[1] | |
Pachyrhinosaurini was a subfamily of centrosaurine dinosaurs. The clade existed during the Late Cretaceous, about 84.9 to 66 million years ago, evolving during the earliest Campanian,[4] and becoming extinct in the Maastrichtian.[3][5]
Classification
Pachyrhinosaurini was defined in 2012 by Fiorillo & Tykoski. It was defined as all centrosaurine ceratopsids more closely related to Pachyrhinosaurus canadensis than to Centrosaurus apertus. It was defined during the description of Pachyrhinosaurus petorum, a species from Alaska[3]
Below is a cladogram by Sampson et al. 2013,[1] with clade names such a Pachyrhinosaurini as defined by Fiorillo and Tykoski (2012).[3]
