Arrhinoceratops - Meaning : without-nose-horn face

Arrhinoceratops, (pronounced aye-RYE-no-SER-uh-tops), is the name given to a genus of ceratopsian dinosaur.

The name was coined as its original describer concluded it had no nose-horn, however further analysis revealed this not to be the case. It lived during the Late Cretaceous, though predates its famous relative Triceratops by a few million years, being found in the early Maastrichtian period. Its remains have been found in Canada.

Arrhinoceratops, like all Ceratopsians, was a herbivore. During the Cretaceous, flowering plants were "geographically limited on the landscape", and so it is likely that this dinosaur fed on the predominant plants of the era: ferns, cycads and conifers.

It would have used its sharp Ceratopsian beak to bite off the leaves or needles. It's length was about 6 - 8 metres.
