Zuniceratops

Lived from about 90 to 89 million years ago.
Triceratops ancestor

A smaller, earlier horned dinosaur that helps show the transition toward the larger, more elaborate ceratopsids. It did not yet have the full giant frill-and-horn look of Triceratops, but it sits close to that later line in the broader horned-dinosaur story. Lived from about 90 to 89 million years ago.
