Rubeosaurus may be synonymous with Styracosaurus as a result. Paleoecology Styracosaurus is known from the Dinosaur Park Formation, and was a member of a diverse and well-documented fauna of prehistoric animals that included horned relatives such as Centrosaurus and Chasmosaurus, duckbills such as Prosaurolophus, Lambeosaurus, Gryposaurus, Corythosaurus, and Parasaurolophus, tyrannosaurids Gorgosaurus, Daspletosaurus, and armored Edmontonia and Euoplocephalus. The Dinosaur Park Formation is interpreted as a low-relief setting of rivers and floodplains that became more swampy and influenced by marine conditions over time as the Western Interior Seaway transgressed westward. The climate was warmer than present-day Alberta, without frost, but with wetter and drier seasons. Conifers were apparently the dominant canopy plants, with an understory of ferns, tree ferns, and angiosperms. In popular culture Styracosaurus was featured in the lost pit scene in "King Kong" (1933). Although the original footage is now lost, a similar, fictional ceratopsian called Ferrucutus based on Styracosaurus and Pachyrhinosaurus can be seen in Peter Jackson's recreation.
