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.
