Diabloceratops was a herbivore (plant-eater) that lived in North America
(its fossils
were discovered in
Utah)
during the late
Cretaceous period,
about 85 million years ago.
In many ways, Diabloceratops was a typical
Ceratopsian
dinosaur with a neck-frill, spikes and horns -
it had two large spikes on its neck-frill, and a smaller horn above each
eye.
However, unlike some other
Ceratopsians,
Diabloceratops had no horn on its snout.
Diabloceratops was a member of the Ornithischia ("bird-hipped") order of dinosaurs. What this means, is that although Diabloceratops was not closely related to birds, it did have similarly shaped pelvic bones.
