Dintlha tse di monate

1

Menefeeceratops is potentially the oldest known ceratopsid dinosaur, living about 83 to 80 million years ago.1

2

Its fossils were discovered in 1996 by Paul Sealey, a research associate at the New Mexico Museum of Natural History.1

3

The only known skeleton is partial and not connected, including parts of the skull, jaw, vertebrae, ribs, hip bone, and limb pieces.1

4

Menefeeceratops lived alongside other dinosaurs like the tyrannosaur Dynamoterror and the hadrosaur Ornatops.1

5

It shared its environment with giant crocodile-like reptiles such as Deinosuchus and Brachychampsa.1

6

The name Menefeeceratops honors the Menefee Formation where it was found, and the species name sealeyi honors its discoverer Paul Sealey.1
