- The nearly complete skull of Bisticeratops,
once thought to have belonged to Pentaceratops,  from the same family, was unearthed in 1975 by a team from the University of Arizona from the Kirtland Formation,  North Western New Mexico.

The nearly complete ceratopsian skull discovered in 1975, once thought to be a Pentaceratops skull.

- The skull was once thought to have belonged to a dinosaur from the same family; Pentaceratops. After being studied more in detail 47 years later,  it is confirmed to be a different species but still, from the same family. Its name is Bisticeratops froeseorum.

-It lived about 74 million years old; 2 years earlier than what it was once believed to be; that is Pentaceratops.

- The skull bears bite marks from a tyrannosaurid.  It is uncertain whether the tyrannosaurid was feeding on the dead corpse of the ceratopsian or inflicted injury to it from active predation.

Edit; Just found that it features in the 'Dinosaurs and Paleontology Section' ,  but still wanted to add it to the 'In the News' also.
