4

The first fossils were found in 1921 by Charles Hazelius Sternberg in New Mexico. The dinosaur was named in 1923 by Henry Fairfield Osborn.1

5

One very large Pentaceratops skull was later renamed Titanoceratops because it looked more like Triceratops.1

6

Pentaceratops is used as a guide fossil: its appearance marks the start of the Kirtlandian land vertebrate age.1
