New Ceratopsian Dinosaur Discovered
Paleontologists in Alberta have discovered a new ceratopsian genus. This dinosaur, which was given the name Eotriceratops xerinsularis, is the earliest and largest known member of the Triceratops group.
According to researchers, Eotriceratops likely reached eight or nine meters from nose to tail. It had a massive skull that featured a solid frill (this alone was three meters in length), and three horns - two above each eye, and another, shorter one, perched on its nose.
