Welcome Wendiceratops, Dinosauria’s Newest Horned Face
If you’re a dinosaur fan now, you’re spoiled. There’s no denying it. Just look at the horned dinosaurs. Back when I was a young whippersnapper, Triceratops – old “three horned face” – was the main game in town. If you wanted variety you could go “Ooh” and “Aah” over the skulls of Centrosaurus, Styracosaurus, Pentaceratops, and Chasmosaurus, but that’s most of what we had to gawk at. And we were thankful. It wasn’t like today, when there are new species bristling with weird horns popping out of the rock like crazy. So make sure you fully appreciate the beauty that is Wendiceratops pinhornensis.
The new dinosaur comes to us thanks to legendary fossil hunter Wendy Sloboda. In
