Chasmosaurus Strike Attack

Chasmosaurus is a horned dinosaur from Canada with an enormous, light frill full of holes, and its name means opening lizard. Mattel added it to the second Strike Attack wave of Jurassic World Epic Evolution as a sage-green figure with a red-orange frill and a press-to-strike head charge. Here is what the figure looks like, why the frill had windows, and how to unlock it in the Jurassic World Play App.

Frill Check: Built With Windows

The huge Chasmosaurus frill looked solid in life, but the bone underneath was mostly empty space.

Bone reportThe opening lizardChasmosaurus belli
Named: 1914, Lawrence LambeFrill bone: two large openingsCovered by: skin, so it looked solidUsed for: display, not armour
Two big holes in the frill bone kept it light. Covered in skin, the frill would still look huge and impressive, perfect for showing off to rivals and mates.

A frill full of holes would not stop a bite, so scientists think it worked more like a billboard than a shield.

What Is Strike Attack?

Strike Attack is the action assortment of Mattel’s Epic Evolution line. Each figure has one built-in strike move: press the button on its back and it lunges into an attack, no batteries needed. They also have movable joints and a DNA code that unlocks the animal in the Jurassic World Play App.

Chasmosaurus came in the second Strike Attack wave of Epic Evolution, alongside Gastonia, Monolophosaurus and Dilophosaurus.

About Chasmosaurus

Chasmosaurus was named in 1914 by Lawrence Lambe from fossils found in the Dinosaur Park Formation of Alberta, Canada. The name means opening lizard, after the holes in its frill.

It lived in the Late Cretaceous, about 76 to 75 million years ago. It was about 4.5 to 5 m long and weighed around 1.5 to 2 tonnes.

Chasmosaurus was a ceratopsid, a plant-eating horned dinosaur related to Triceratops. Skin impressions show it had rows of large scales.
