| rdfs:comment | - Subsequent discoveries in the century-and-a-half since have called into question whether Monoclonius was in fact a distinct genus or a specimen of another known kind such as Centrosaurus or Styracosaurus.
- Monoclonius (meaning "single stem"; referring to the teeth, which have a single root) was a ceratopsian dinosaur from the Judith River Formation of Late Cretaceous Montana and Canada. It is often confused with Centrosaurus, a similar genus of ceratopsian (some think the two may even be identical, of a different age or gender). Monoclonius was described by Edward Drinker Cope in 1876.
- Monoclonius was named by Edward Drinker Cope in 1876. Later, much taxonomic confusion was caused by the discovery of Centrosaurus, a very similar genus of ceratopsian, that is known from much better remains. Today, typical Monoclonius specimens are usually believed to be juveniles or subadults, in many cases of other genera such as Centrosaurus. Those specimens that remain under the name Monoclonius are mostly too incomplete or immature to be confidently matched with adult specimens from the same time and place. This is especially true of the type species, Monoclonius crassus. Therefore, Monoclonius is now usually considered a nomen dubium, pending further study.
- The Monoclonius is an animal available on FarmVille. It's released with Dino Lab and can be created in pen part of Dino Lab with 6 File:Red DNA-icon.png Red DNA bushels, 5 File:Green DNA-icon.png Green DNA bushels, 2 File:Blue DNA-icon.png Blue DNA bushel and 1 File:Yellow DNA-icon.png Yellow DNA bushel. It can be also be bought from Market for cash and then you will get File:XP-icon.png experience.
- Of the fifteen or so species of Monoclonius that have been named over time, all but one have either been reclassified as belonging to Centrosaurus or Styracosaurus, been synonymized with other species, or been declared dubious or invalid. Many scientists consider Monoclonius itself to be the same as Centrosaurus.
