Datos curiosos

1

Utahceratops had a frill with a deep notch in the middle, and its brow horns were short, rounded, and stuck out to the sides.2

2

Scientists found six specimens, including two partial skulls, which together preserve about 96% of the skull and 70% of the rest of the skeleton.1

3

It lived at the same time and in the same place as another horned dinosaur called Kosmoceratops, which had ten hooks on its frill.2

4

Utahceratops is closely related to Pentaceratops, which lived in New Mexico, and scientists think different horned dinosaurs lived in different parts of the ancient western landmass called Laramidia.2

5

Its nasal horn was positioned far back, almost entirely behind the nostril opening, which is unusual.1

6

Some of the small bones along the edge of its frill were very long, more than 10 centimetres (4 inches) long.1
