PALEONTOLOGISTS AT NEW MEXICO’S MUSEUM OF NATURAL HISTORY AND SCIENCE HAVE DISCOVERED A NEW KIND OF DINOSAUR. IT’S A CERATOPSID, WHICH COULD BE PLACED ON DISPLAY IN THE ALBUQUERQUE MUSEUM SOMETIME IN THE FUTURE.
IT’S A HORNED DINOSAUR ESTIMATED TO BE 73 MILLION YEARS OLD. IT’S ALSO ONE OF THE FEW DINOSAUR NAMED FROM ARIZONA. THE BONES OF THE CERATOPSID WERE DISCOVERED IN SOUTHERN ARIZONA 20 YEARS AGO. CHANNEL 13 NEWS REPORTS THE DINOSAUR WAS 11-FEET LONG, WEIGHED ABOUT 15-HUNDRED POUNDS AND IS IN THE SAME GENUS AS THE TRICERATOPS.
