Utuntu dushimishije
Navajoceratops is known from only a partial skull, including the back part of its frill called the parietal.1
It lived during the Campanian stage of the Late Cretaceous, between about 75.0 and 73.4 million years ago.2
Navajoceratops is a chasmosaurine ceratopsid, meaning it is closely related to famous horned dinosaurs like Triceratops.1
The deep notch in the back of its frill is a key feature that helps scientists understand how chasmosaurine dinosaurs evolved over time.2
Its fossils were found in the Hunter Wash Member of the Kirtland Formation in the San Juan Basin.2
Navajoceratops was named after the Navajo people, who are indigenous to the area where the fossils were discovered.1
