Nasutoceratops


Nasutoceratops was a Ceratopsian dinosaur from the Campian stage of the Late Cretaceous Period which is about 75 million years ago.  It lived in what is now Southern Utah.  (Things were a lot greener down there back then.)  It was around 25 feet long.  That is 7.5 meters long.  It weighed around 1.5 tons.  It had a large nose but no nose horn.  Its brow horns curved out towards the side before they curved and faced forward.  It looked much like a Triceratops, but without the nose horn.  Nasutoceratops also lived several million years before Triceratops.  It lived with animals like Parasaurolophus and Pteranodon.  Both are in the drawing. 

Nsutoceratops was found in the Kaiparowitz formation in the Grand Staircase Escalante National Monument.  It was discovered in 2006.
