酷東西

趣味知識

Asiaceratops is one of the few ceratopsians known from Central Asia, not from North America or China.1

Its name means 'Asian horned face', because it lived in Asia and had a horned face like other ceratopsians.2

The type specimen is a partial skeleton, which is rare for ceratopsians, as many are known only from skulls.1

Scientists think it lived in groups, because the PBDB record lists 'gregarious' behavior.1

It lived during the Cenomanian age, about 100 to 94 million years ago, when dinosaurs like T. rex's ancestors were around.1

The species name 'salsopaludalis' means 'salt marsh', hinting that it lived near salty wetlands.1
