The dinosaur, which lived 79 million years ago, is one of the oldest known members of the family of horned dinosaurs that includes the well-known Triceratops. “It’s another pretty spectacular horned dinosaur from Alberta,” said Evans, co-author of the paper and the curator of vertebrate paleontology at the Royal Ontario Museum. They described the newly discovered dinosaur in a paper published Wednesday in the journal, PLOS ONE.
Over the next three years, the scientists and their team dug a big hole - removing 25 metres of rock - and found more than 200 bones of four dinosaurs: two adults, a subadult and a baby. “They said, ‘Oh, this is something different.’” ROM Manage Print Subscription / Tax Receipt.
