2

Its horns pointed outward and forward, then curved and twisted at the tips, unlike most other horned dinosaurs.1

3

The frill on its head was simple and wide in the middle, without the big holes or spikes seen in many relatives.1

4

It lived alongside other dinosaurs like the tyrannosaur Teratophoneus and the duck-billed Gryposaurus.1

5

Nasutoceratops is one of the few horned dinosaurs from the southern part of the ancient continent Laramidia.1

6

Its name honors Alan Titus, a paleontologist who helped with fossil discoveries in the monument.1
