Paleontologists in the US have discovered a new species of horned dinosaur which was an ancestor to the triceratops and lived in New Mexico 82 million years ago.
The species comes from a group of herbivorous rhinoceros-like dinosaurs known as the ceratopsid species, which generally lived in herds and are characterised by horns and frills and beaked faces.
With a frilled head and beaked face, Menefeeceratops sealeyi, discovered in New Mexico, lived 82 million years ago. It predated its better-known relative, triceratops.
