Fatgs divertents

Avaceratops had a solid frill, unlike many other horned dinosaurs that had holes in their frills.2

The first fossil was found in 1981 by Eddie Cole on a ranch in Montana, and the dinosaur was named after Eddie's wife, Ava.2

Avaceratops was the first new ceratopsid dinosaur named in 36 years, since Pachyrhinosaurus in 1950.2

The type specimen might have been a juvenile, and a 2019 study showed it was still growing quickly when it died.2

A larger skull, MOR 692, shows that adult Avaceratops could have brow horns about 25 centimetres (9.8 inches) long.2

Avaceratops lived in a wet, heavily forested habitat, unlike the open plains where some other horned dinosaurs lived.2

Anc discutà: Scientists are not sure where Avaceratops fits in the dinosaur family tree, because the best skeleton is from a young animal, and young dinosaurs can look more primitive than adults.2
