Utuntu dushimishije
Serendipaceratops is known from just one bone, a left ulna (lower arm bone) that is about 16 centimetres long.1
The bone was discovered in 1993 during the Dinosaur Cove project, in a small area of sea-floor protected by a dam.1
Scientists first thought the bone might be from a theropod, but later noticed it looked like the arm bone of a horned dinosaur called Leptoceratops.1
The species name, arthurcclarkei, honors science fiction writer Arthur C. Clarke, who was a friend of the scientists that named it.1
Some scientists think Serendipaceratops might actually be an ankylosaur, not a horned dinosaur, because the arm bone is robust.1
The fossil was found in the Wonthaggi Formation, which is about 115 million years old.1

- The bone was found in 1993 near Kilcunda, Australia, and the dinosaur was named by Tom Rich and Patricia Vickers-Rich in 2003. The name came after a colleague pointed out the bone looked like a horned dinosaur's arm bone.1
