Aging Dinosaurs

“Triceratops had three facial horns and a short, thick neck-frill with a saw-toothed edge. Torosaurus also had three horns, though at different angles, and a much longer, thinner, smooth-edged frill with two large holes in it. So it’s not surprising that Othniel Marsh, who discovered both in the late 1800s, considered them to be separate species.

Now Scannella and Horner say that triceratops is merely the juvenile form of torosaurus. As the animal aged, its horns changed shape and orientation and its frill became longer, thinner and less jagged.”

Agnoistrologists are skeptical by nature and, as a result, are often intrigued by new information that challenges previously held notions. In an effort to encourage and cultivate that mindset, the ‘Announcements’ page has been transformed to a ‘Blog’ page and will periodically include new and/or interesting discoveries, as well as anything else I want to share.

As always, I’m open to suggestions for improvement.

Thanks to all of you who have ‘liked’ the Agnoistrology Facebook page, I’ve been granted to privilege of acquiring a username for it. Now, you may send everyone you know to http://www.facebook.com/Agnoistrology, allowing them to also bask in the radiance of admitted ignorance.

Searching for a place to discuss how eerily accurate your Agnoistrological horoscope was today? Your prayers (if you prayed, but I know you don’t) have been answered! Introducing the Agnoistrology.com forum – a place to share your thoughts with other followers of this site.

A few things to remember: you will have to verify that you are mature enough to participate in adult conversation (i.e. no trolling, spam, hate speech, etc.) before entering and I will ruthlessly enforce that mandate. Otherwise, you’ll find me a benevolent and laid back dictator, uh, I mean, administrator.

Have fun!
