Anchiceratops is rare compared to other horned dinosaurs in the same area, and its fossils are often found near ancient marine sediments.1

The name Anchiceratops means 'near horned face' because Barnum Brown thought it was a close relative of Triceratops.1

Its frill had coarse triangular projections along the edge, which is why the species name ornatus means 'ornate'.1

Anchiceratops lived in estuaries and coastal areas, where other ceratopsids did not live.1

The first fossils were found along the Red Deer River in Alberta, Canada, in 1912 by an expedition led by Barnum Brown.1

Anchiceratops shared its environment with dinosaurs like Albertosaurus, Edmontosaurus, and Pachyrhinosaurus.1
