Torosaurus Head Sculpture
Torosaurus latus (tor-roh-SORE-us) Marsh, 1891
Although the name Torosaurus is frequently translated as 'bull lizard' from the Latin 'taurus' (bull), it probably means 'perforated lizard' from the Greek word 'toreo' (pierce, perforate). The name refers to the holes, or fenestrae, in the frill of this animal. It had one of the largest skulls of any land animal known, reaching 2.6 meters (8.5 ft) in length. Torosaurus probably measured about 7.6 meters (25 ft) long and weighed an estimated 4 to 6 tonnes. Torosaurus belonged to the subfamily known as Chasmosaurinae, within the family Ceratopsidea within the Ceratopsia. Torosaurus was a herbivore and lived during the Late Cretaceous.
The sculpture has a steel armature with a fiberglass shell overlaid with urethane skin. The head is 9 feet long, 5 feet wide and 5 feet tall and is mounted to a base with casters which is 8 feet long and 5 feet wide.
