Long-frilled ceratopsid herbivore dinosaur of Cretaceous Alberta, Canada. Its name means ‘opening lizard’, referring to the large openings in its frill. Chasmosaurus had three main facial horns – one on the nose and two on the brow.

Chasmosaurus belli was a medium-size ceratopsid. In 2010 G.S. Paul estimated the length of C. belli at 4.8 meters, its weight at two tonnes; C. russelli would have been 4.3 meters long and weighed 1.5 tonnes.

Chasmosaurus belli had three main facial horns – one on the nose and two on the brow. These horns are quite short.

The frill of Chasmosaurus belli is very elongated and broader at the rear than at the front. It is hardly elevated from the plane of the snout. With C. belli the rear of the frill is V-shaped and its sides are straight.
