Hello, as I have seen the spitter tooth with triceratops horridus as id that you can see online from hell creek can only be Id as ceratopsian.

 

Then is this picture correct or is there someplace with the posible ceratopsians from hell creek?

Correct, but it's most likely not Leptoceratops since their tooth morphology is different

 

From my Faunal listing of the Hell Creek, Lance Formations

 Ceratopsidae:

- Leptoceratops gracilis (Brown 1914)

- Leptoceratops sp.  (BHI fragmantry material)

- Tatankaceratops sacrisonorum (Ott & Larsen 2010)

- Torosaurus latus (Marsh 1891)

- Triceratops horridus (Marsh 1889)

- Triceratops prorsus (Marsh 1890)

Others more Problematic:

- Triceratops sp 2 (Fowler 2017) (MOR 3027 Yoshi specimen)

- Chasmosaurine MOR 1122 7-22-00-1

- ?Ceratopsian indet. (skulls floating around that are claimed to be a new species including:  Nedoceratops hatcher,  Lance Fm and Duranteceratops, Hell Creek Fm)

Thanks for the answer, you always give the best information. And it's possible to discard Leptoceratops and Tatankaceratops based on the tooth size?

Tatankaceratops is not a Leptoceratopsid so it's teeth should look more other Chasmosaurinae just smaller
