Researchers have discovered a new species of horned dinosaur, Lokiceratops rangiformis, in northern Montana. This plant-eating dinosaur, estimated to be 22 feet long and weigh 11,000 pounds, is the largest and most ornate ceratopsid ever found. The fossils, including a skull and partial skeleton, were unearthed in 2019 and have been reconstructed and displayed in museums. Lokiceratops' distinctive horns inspired its name, referencing the Norse God Loki and resembling caribou antlers. This discovery highlights a higher level of dinosaur diversity in the region than previously understood.
