PROTOCERATOPS
Fossil
bones of this six to nine foot long dinosaur were discovered
in Mongolia's Gobi desert in the 1920s, along with numerous
nests of fossil eggs. These were recently found to belong
to a bipedal carnivorous dinosaur called Oviraptor, and not
to Protoceratops, as originally thought.
Protoceratops belonged to the Ceratopsidae, an extensive group
of horned dinosaurs, with expanded head frills, parrot-type beaks
and teeth designed for slicing up tough, fibrous plants. Some North
American members of this clan include Styracosaurus, Centrosaurus,
Pentaceratops and Triceratops.
Dimensions:
1-1/2" tall x 1-1/4" long.
Price:
$ 17.25 each.
