Spiked 'do reptile

Description

A reconstruction of CMN 344, the type specimen of Styracosaurus. The outrageous hairdo clearly stems from the ceratopsians' experimental college days...

...erm, were most likely for intraspecies display and mate attraction.

Edit: Minor soft-tissue adjustments to the silhouette.

So how common are the skeletons for this dinosaur?  And are there any indications of sexual dimorphism in the species (i.e. females having smaller horns and frill spikes)?
