Photo of the Day #50: Protoceras celer

i-b34fe0030ecdcfcbeadbb0cad34d23da-newprotoceratidamnh2.JPG

Since yesterday's photo of Syndyoceras was so popular, I thought I would put up a photo of another protoceratid artiodactyl, this time Protoceras celer. Often found in deposits that were in proximity to streams, this animal showed some sexual dimorphism in its ornamentation, males (like the one pictured above) being more ornate than females.

Sorry, but I can´t see it, the photo is too dark.

Sorry, Sordes. I actually tried to brighten it up a bit but it came out very grainy, although I'll give it another try later. I know a lot of people might have trouble with my photos if the monitors are darker or older, but I'll try to be mindful of that.
