==Classification== [[File:ChasmosaurCMNSkull.jpg|thumb|Skull of ''Chasmosaurus belli'', [[Canadian Museum of Nature]]]] ''Chasmosaurus'' was in 1915 by Lambe within the [[Ceratopsia]] assigned to the [[Chasmosaurinae]].<ref>L.M. Lambe, 1915, "On ''Eoceratops canadensis'', gen. nov., with remarks on other genera of Cretaceous horned dinosaurs", ''Canada Geological Survey Museum Bulletin'' 12, Geological Series 24: 1β49</ref> The Chasmosaurinae usually have long frills, like ''Chasmosaurus'' itself, whereas their sister-group the [[Centrosaurinae]] typically have shorter frills. Most [[cladistic]] analyses show that ''Chasmosaurus'' has a basal position in the Chasmosaurinae.S [[File:Chasmosaurus russelli skull.jpg|thumb|Skull of ''Chasmosaurus russelli'', [[Royal Tyrrell Museum of Palaeontology|Royal Tyrell Museum of Palaeontology]].]] [[File:Chasmosaurine specimens from the Dinosaur Park Formation.PNG|thumb|[[Stratigraphic]] positions of [[chasmosaurine]] specimens from the [[Dinosaur Park Formation]]]] The following [[cladogram]] shows the [[phylogeny]] of ''Chasmosaurus'' according to a study by [[Scott Sampson]] e.a. in 2010.<ref name="Sampson"/> {{clade| style=font-size:85%;line-height:85% |label1='''[[Ceratopsidae]]''' |1={{clade |1=[[Centrosaurinae]] |label2=[[Chasmosaurinae]] |2={{clade |1='''''Chasmosaurus''''' |2={{clade |1=''[[Mojoceratops]]'' |2={{clade |1=''[[Agujaceratops]]'' |2={{clade |1={{clade |1=''[[Utahceratops]]'' |2=''[[Pentaceratops]]''}} |2={{clade |1=''[[Coahuilaceratops]]'' |2={{clade |1={{clade |1=''[[Kosmoceratops]]'' |2=''[[Vagaceratops]]''}} |2={{clade |1=''[[Anchiceratops]]'' |2={{clade |1=''[[Arrhinoceratops]]'' |2={{clade |1=''[[Ojoceratops]]'' |2=''[[Eotriceratops]]'' |3={{clade |1=''[[Torosaurus]]'' |2={{clade |1=''[[Nedoceratops]]'' |2=''[[Triceratops]]'' }} }} }} }} }} }} }} }} }} }} }} }} }}
