He found Nedoceratops to be distinct and the proposed changes required to " age " a Triceratops into a Torosaurus without precedent among ceratopsids, requiring addition of epoccipitals, reversion of bone texture from adult to immature back to adult, and late growth of holes in the frill.
In one subsequent paper, paleontologist Nick Longrich argued that the synonymy of Triceratops and Torosaurus could not be supported without better intermediate forms than Scannella and Horner initially provided.
