Avaceratops
Click here for more Avaceratops Pictures
Avaceratops was a herbivore (plant-eater) that lived in the late
Cretaceous period,
about 80 to 75 million years ago,
Avaceratops was comparatively small compared to
most other
Ceratopsian dinosaurs,
about 7½ feet (2,3 meters) long.
Like other
Ceratopsian dinosaurs,
Avaceratops had a neck frill, however
unlike most of its relatives, the neck frill was solid,
with no openings (fenestrae).
The lack of fenestrae is in fact a feature also found in
Triceratops,
so it is possible that Avaceratops was ancestral to
Triceratops.
The first
fossils
of Avaceratops were found in the Judith River Formation in
Montana
by Eddie Cole
in
1981.
The animal was formally named by Peter Dodson
in
1986,
its name being partly in honor of Cole's wife, Ava -
its name means "Ava's horned face".
Avaceratops was a herbivore (plant-eater) that lived from 80 to 75 million years ago
