Tatankaceratops was a small, horned dinosaur that lived about 66 million years ago. It had a short, slender brow horn and a long nose horn, like a tiny Triceratops. Scientists are not sure if it was a real new kind of dinosaur or just a young Triceratops with a strange growth problem.1

Fatgs divertents

Tatankaceratops is known from only one partial skull, which is kept at the Black Hills Institute in South Dakota.1

Its name means 'bison horned face' because its nose horn reminded scientists of a bison's horn.1

The skull of Tatankaceratops has a strange mix of features: some parts look like a young dinosaur, but other parts are fused and worn like an old adult.1

Some scientists think Tatankaceratops might be a dwarf species of Triceratops, or just a Triceratops that had a disorder that stopped it from growing normally.1

Tatankaceratops lived at the very end of the age of dinosaurs, about 66 million years ago, in the same time and place as Triceratops.1
