Meet Xenoceratops — a new species of horned dinosaur (ceratopsian) from Alberta, Canada, discovered by a group of scientists including Dr. Michael J. Ryan, curator of vertebrate paleontology at The Cleveland Museum of Natural History.
About the dino: Xenoceratops (Xeno + ceratops) means “alien horned-face,” referring to the strange pattern of horns on its head and the scarcity of horned dinosaur fossils from this part of the fossil record. It also honors the Village of Foremost, located close to where the dinosaur was discovered. Xenoceratops had a parrot-like beak with two long brow horns above its eyes. A large frill protruded from the back of its skull featuring two huge spikes.
