The second edition of The Dinosauria (published in 2004) paces Agathaumas milo as a synonym of Edmontosaurus regalis. However, the type specimen of A. milo consists of a sacral centrum and a tibia fragment, both of which are not diagnostic. Therefore, A. milo is considered to be Dinosauria indeterminate.68.4.61.237 (talk) 03:24, 26 September 2010 (UTC)Vahe Demirjian[reply]

Agathaumas monoclonius is a typographical error for A. sylvestris, while other species referred to Agathaumas are not assignable to Agathaumas. Therefore the species section needs cleanup.68.4.61.237 (talk) 03:28, 26 September 2010 (UTC)Vahe Demirjian[reply]

The article isn't implying that they are referable as far as I can see, if fact it lists other species they are referable to. As a nomen dubium, nothing is referable to Agathaumas but the type specimen. Do you have a reference for A monoclonius being a typographic error?

How can an 1890s painting be based on an animal (Styracosaurus) which was not discovered until the 1910s? FunkMonk (talk) 11:43, 13 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

IIRC he based it on Monoclonius with the spiny (quilled...??) skin/frill based on skin impressions. Need to find some actual sources to expand that section. MMartyniuk (talk) 23:36, 13 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
