Prettige feite

1

Archaeoceratops is one of the earliest known horned dinosaurs, or ceratopsians.1

2

It had a relatively large head but no horns, only a small bony frill at the back of its skull.1

3

The first fossils were found in the Xinminbao Group of Gansu Province, China.1

4

Two specimens have been discovered: a partial skeleton with skull and a smaller, less complete skeleton.1

5

Scientists think Archaeoceratops was bipedal, meaning it walked on its two hind legs.1

6

It lived about 121 to 99 million years ago, during the Early Cretaceous period.2

Archaeoceratops was named by Chinese paleontologist Dong Zhiming and Japanese paleontologist Yoshitsugu Azuma in 1997. The type species is A. oshimai.1
Steeds omstrede
Scientists are not sure exactly how Archaeoceratops is related to other early ceratopsians, and some debate whether it belongs in its own family, Archaeoceratopsidae.1
