Naam beteken: “Zuni horned face”1
Het geëet: PlanteDino's met horingsLaat Kryt

Zuniceratops was a small, plant-eating dinosaur that lived about 90 million years ago. It had a pair of long brow horns and a frill on its head, but no nose horn. It is one of the earliest horned dinosaurs to show how bigger, later horned dinosaurs like Triceratops evolved.1

Prettige feite

1

Zuniceratops was discovered in 1996 by eight-year-old Christopher James Wolfe, the son of a paleontologist, while exploring in New Mexico.1

2

Young Zuniceratops had single-rooted teeth, but as they grew older their teeth became double-rooted. This change with age is unusual among horned dinosaurs.1

3

Zuniceratops lived alongside other dinosaurs like the tyrannosaur Suskityrannus, the big-clawed Nothronychus, and the ankylosaur Jeyawati.1

4

Fossils of several Zuniceratops individuals have been found together in a bonebed, suggesting they may have lived in groups.1

5

Zuniceratops had no nose horn, but it had well-developed brow horns that look like those of later, bigger horned dinosaurs.1

6

Zuniceratops is an important piece of evidence that horned dinosaurs may have evolved in North America, not Asia.1

Ontdekking
Zuniceratops was named in 1998 by paleontologists Douglas Wolfe and James Kirkland. The first fossils, including a skull and bones from several individuals, were found in the Moreno Hill Formation in New Mexico in 1996. The species name, christopheri, honors the discoverer, Christopher James Wolfe.13
Steeds omstrede
Scientists are still debating exactly how Zuniceratops is related to the later, larger horned dinosaurs called ceratopsids.1
