Newly Discovered Dinosaur Lokiceratops Reveals Unprecedented Horn Diversity

The 78-million-year-old herbivore, found in Montana, showcases the largest frill horns ever seen and provides new insights into ceratopsian evolution.

Lokiceratops rangiformis features unique, blade-like horns and an asymmetric frill, unlike any other known species.
The dinosaur lived in the swamps of northern Montana, alongside four other horned species, indicating high regional diversity.
Its discovery suggests rapid evolution in small geographic areas, similar to patterns seen in birds.
The fossil is now housed at Denmark's Museum of Evolution, with a replica on display in Utah.
This find challenges previous assumptions about the diversity and coexistence of horned dinosaurs.
