Yeah, guess I was wrong. I thought it would be Tyrannosaurus, but guess that was #99!

So even after getting the horns the Certopsians kept the quills on their rear-ends?

possibly, it's not known for sure, but it's a distinct possibility--an undescribed specimen of triceratops with skin impressions suggests that they did, though what the quills would have been for is anyone's guess.
