Nasutoceratops

Authored by Pixtarsaurus

Nasutoceratops was a centrosaurine ceratopsian dinosaur found in Utah, USA during the late Cretaceous Period, around 77-75 million years ago.

It had a short yet thick snout and large horns above its eyes that extended almost to the end of its beak-like mouth. The horns are the longest brow-horns of all members of the centrosaurine sub-family but rather than growing straight out their horns would grow to the side and then out, similar to a bulls horns.

It shared its habitat with ParasaurolophusOrnithomimus, and Teratophoneus, a six-meter long tyrannosaur related to Albertosaurus, which may had been a massive threat to it.
