A final reminder about this week's quiz question before the answer is revealed tomorrow. You've been asked: In which stage of the Middle Jurassic did the first Ankylosaurs appear? Aalenian, Bajocian, Bathonian or Callovian?Today's dino: Name: EotriceratopsPronunciation: Ee-oh-tri-seh-rah-topsMeaning of name: "Dawn three horned face", in reference to an older age relative.Species: E. xerinsularisSize: Estimated to have measured between 8 and 9 metres long and weighing 11 metric tonnes.Family: Chasmosaurinae (a subfamily of Ceratopsidae)Diet: HerbivoreFirst fossils found: Known only from a single, partial skeleton discovered by American palaeontologist, Barnum Brown, in the Horseshoe Canyon Formation of southwestern Alberta, Canada, in 1910. However, Mr. Brown neglected the find as he was more interested in the many Albertosaurus specimens present in the area. The skeleton was rediscovered in 2001. Named by Xiao-Chun Wu, Donald B. Brinkman, David A. Eberth and Dennis R. Braman in 2007.Lived: 68.8 million years ago during the Maastrichtian stage of the Late Cretaceous in what is now Alberta, Canada.
