Summary
DescriptionAnchiceratops skull in University of Wyoming Geological Museum.jpg |
English: Anchiceratops ornatus Brown, 1914 - fossil ceratopsian dinosaur skull from the Cretaceous of Alberta, Canada. (UW 2419, University of Wyoming Geological Museum, Laramie, Wyoming, USA)
This species is also known as Anchiceratops longirostris. Ceratopsians are the "horned dinosaurs". They were large, quadrupedal, herbivorous dinosaurs having a beaked skull and a frill - an extension of bone behind the skull that partially covered the neck. Ceratopsian dinosaurs are known from the Jurassic and Cretaceous. The last members of the group died out at the Cretaceous-Tertiary boundary, 65 million years ago. From exhibit signage: HORNED DINOSAUR Anchiceratops longirostris Edmonton Formation Late Cretaceous Munson Ferry, Alberta A close relative of Triceratops Anchiceratops ornatus Geological Time: 75 to 65 million years ago (Late Cretaceous) Geographic Range: Alberta Adult Size: About 5 tons Habitat: Floodplains and stream banks, brackish-water bays Diet: Plants Characteristics: Anchiceratops is one of the large horned herbivorous dinosaurs that lived in western Canada at the end of the Age of Dinosaurs. It is a close relative of the familiar Triceratops (Wyoming's state dinosaur). It differs from Triceratops in its higher and more ornate frill. The horns and frill of Anchiceratops probably had their most important use in sparring with other members of the species, much as in the contests of modern elk or bighorn sheep. The horns are well situated to allow two individuals to lock heads in a battle for mating rights. Classification: Animalia, Chordata, Vertebrata, Reptilia, Archosauria, Dinosauria, Ornithischia, Marginocephalia, Ceratopsia, Ceratopsidae Stratigraphy: Horseshoe Canyon Formation, Edmonton Group. Maastrichtian Stage, upper Upper Cretaceous Locality: western side of Red Deer River, ~0.5 mile south of Munson Ferry (a.k.a. Bleriot Ferry), northwest of the town of Drumheller, southern Alberta, southwestern Canada Info. at: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anchiceratops |
