Ebyewuunyisa
Eotriceratops lived about 68.8 million years ago, which is older than Triceratops.1
Its skull was huge, about 3 metres (9.8 feet) long, almost as long as a small car.1
The horns above its eyes were about 80 centimetres (2.6 feet) long and curved forward.1
Its frill had long, spindle-shaped bony bumps along the edge, which were different from those of Triceratops.1
Three bite marks on its skull show that scavengers may have nibbled on it after it died.1
The first fossil of Eotriceratops was discovered in 1910 by Barnum Brown, but he ignored it. It was rediscovered in 2001 by a cook named Glen Guthrie.1
Eotriceratops had at least 35 teeth in its upper jaw to grind tough plants.1
