Triceratops, for example, belongs to a big group of species
called ceratopsians, many of which had frills and horns in a dizzying variety of shapes and sizes.
Now, a team working in Canada's Alberta province, near the border with Montana, reports finding a 79 - million - year - old
ceratopsian they
call Wendiceratops pinhornensis («Wendi» after the Alberta fossil hunter Wendy Sloboda, who discovered the site where the fossils were found, and «pinhornensis» after the name of the site locality, the Pinhorn Provincial Grazing Reserve in Alberta).
