Montanoceratops was a small, plant-eating dinosaur with a beak and a bony frill on its head. It lived in North America during the Late Cretaceous, about 72 million years ago. This dinosaur is part of a group called leptoceratopsids, which were like smaller cousins of the famous Triceratops.1

Montanoceratops was first thought to be a species of Leptoceratops, but in 1951 it got its own genus name.1

The nose horn of Montanoceratops was actually a misidentified cheekbone, which fooled paleontologists for years.1

Montanoceratops lived alongside bigger horned dinosaurs, but it was smaller and had a deeper tail.1

Fossils of Montanoceratops have been found in rocks that are between 83.6 and 66 million years old.3

Montanoceratops is part of a group called leptoceratopsids, which were diverse and lived in the same habitats as the bigger ceratopsids.1

Mitus: Montanoceratops had a prominent nose horn like some other horned dinosaurs.

Vardad: The supposed nose horn was actually a misidentified cheekbone, so Montanoceratops likely did not have a nose horn.1

Anc discutà: Scientists still debate exactly how Montanoceratops is related to other horned dinosaurs, especially because some fossils were misidentified.1
