Prettige feite

Gryphoceratops is known from only one fossil: a partial right lower jaw bone called a dentary.1

It lived about 83 million years ago during the Santonian stage of the Late Cretaceous.1 2

Gryphoceratops is the oldest known leptoceratopsid dinosaur.1 2

Even though it is very old, scientists think Gryphoceratops was one of the most advanced leptoceratopsids.1

The holotype fossil was found in the Milk River Formation in Dinosaur Provincial Park, Alberta.1

The species name morrisoni honors Ian Morrison, who prepared the fossil for study.1

KI-prent van Gryphoceratops — 'n KI-prent van hoe Gryphoceratops dalk gelyk het, deur 'n rekenaar gemaak uit wat wetenskaplikes weet. Dit is 'n raaiskoot: die regte dier het dalk anders gelyk, en niemand weet wat sy regte kleure was nie.
