From the article (thanks for giving the link!):

Quote:

Rugops was about nine metres (30ft) long, and had a short, round snout and small delicate teeth. Its head had a tough covering of surface armour and was riddled with arteries and veins, leaving a criss-cross of grooves on the skull.

Paul Sereno, from Chicago University, who led the expedition which discovered the fossil skull in the Sahara desert, believes it was not designed for fighting, and probably scavenged for food.

Oh no! IDiots everywhere I look!

How long do you think it'll take until some IDist starts quote mining this?

Quote:

"It's really a beautiful intermediate species of the group that later evolved into the first horned predators," said Mr Serrano.
