Meet Crittendenceratops

[Halichoeres]

Not even sure this is worth posting considering how little material is known, but someone has gone and named another ceratopsid: Crittendenceratops krzyzanowskii.

In this skeletal diagram, the known material is in gray, the white parts are inferred from other nasutoceratopsins.


I wonder how long before it's synonymized? At least it seems to have inspired a lovely piece of paleo-art by Sergey Krasovskiy

I read about this one yesterday and got all excited until I saw how limited was the known material. But I really like the artwork.

It's been a couple of years since a new Ceratopsid was named right? That makes it interesting to me, even if it is soon to be dubious and there are too many Ceratopsids named.

Wow! That's not much material. When I saw something about this on Facebook, I wondered if it was based on the specimen known as "Ava," from the Rocky Mountain Dinosaur Resource Center in Colorado but I guess not. Ava, if I remember right, is based on much more material.
