Utahceratops Cow and Calf

Utahceratops is a member of the Ceratopsian type of dinosaurs.  These are mostly horned dinosaurs that have a frill and a hooked mouth.  It was around 6 feet or about 2 meters tall at the shoulders.  It was around 22 feet or about 7 meters long.  It was considerably smaller than its more well-known cousin, Triceratops.   

Like Triceratops, Utahceratops had three horns.  But Utahceratops two brow horns curved outward to the sides.  It may have used those horns to defend itself by thrashing its head side-to-side.  The unique horn shape would certainly have also been important to identify members of the species to other members of the same species.  

As you probably guessed, Utahceratops is named after the state (Utah) where it was found.  It was actually found in Southern Utah.  It was found in 2019 in the Kaiparowits Plateau of the Grand Staircase Escalante National Monument.  Other unique Ceratopsians have also been found there.
