Sinoceratops

Sinoceratops

"The Chinese Horned Face"

First discovered back in 2010, this horned dinosaur was a close cousin to the famous Triceratops. It lived in the prehistoric wilds of Late Cretaceous China and grew up to 20 feet in length (roughly the length of a fishing boat). It is the first known ceratopsid dinosaur to have been discovered in China, as well as one of the largest ceratopsian dinosaurs discovered to date.

Long horn above the nose and a short frill with a bizarre looking spikes behind its giant head, this was the rhinoceras of the dinosaur age. This dinosaur will also enjoy the limelight with its three-horned North American cousin because it will appear in Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom, along with many other amazing dinosaurs the series has been made famous for.
