Zuniceratops christopheri: The North American Ceratopsid Sister Taxon Reconstructed on the Basis of New Data

摘要

Zuniceratops christopheri Wolfe and Kirkland 1998 is a neoceratopsian dinosaur from the middle Turonian Moreno Hill Formation of west-central New Mexico. The holotype is a partial skeleton (MSM P2101), with additional bonebed material comprising at least seven partial skeletons. The bonebed has yielded numerous disarticulated cranial and postcranial elements, expanding our osteological knowledge of Zuniceratops and allowing execution of a full skeletal mount and reconstruction.
