趣味知識

Lokiceratops was named after the Norse god Loki because its horns look like the curved blades Loki used.1

It lived alongside at least three other horned dinosaurs in the same area, which is very rare.1

Lokiceratops belonged to a group called centrosaurines, which had big nose horns and smaller brow horns.4

Its fossils were found in rocks that were once a coastal plain along an ancient sea.1

The full name Lokiceratops rangiformis means 'Loki's horned face that looks like a reindeer' because of its antler-like horns.1
