VERIFY:length_max_m: stored=7 suggested=6 confidence=medium — Current size estimates for P. sternbergii cluster at 5.5 m (Paul, 2016) to about 6 m (Dodson, 1996); the 6.8 m figure derives from OMNH 10165, which Longrich referred to the separate genus Titanoceratops, so 7 m overstates the confirmed maximum.

VERIFY:weight_min_kg: stored=3500 suggested=2500 confidence=medium — Paul (2016, Princeton Field Guide to Dinosaurs, 2nd ed.) estimates the mass of Pentaceratops at approximately 2.5 metric tons, so a lower bound of 3500 kg sits above the range current sources support.
