Well then, Tsintaosaurus spinorhinus isn't actually a unicorn dinosaur after all. We've been getting it wrong guys: Turns out that the skull was much more heavily degraded than we thought. A study just published in PLoS ONE by Albert Prieto-Márquez & Jonathan R. Wagner just showed that the single little bone sticking out of the head was actually just part of a much larger and more typical-looking lambeosaur crest. The real Tsintaosaurus looked a lot more like the picture above. What strikes me about the reconstruction is the height of the real crest in Tsintaosaurus, which is a lot taller than any other lambeosaur known . It looks almost like someone was pulling hard on the crest of a Hypacrosaurus or Corythosaurus and it got stretched out. Sexual selection is a weird thing isn't it?

No unicornosaurus anymore, but anyway its for the greater good of science to accept the truth.
