Avaceratops (Greek for "Ava's horned face")
Avaceratops is pronounced AY-vah-SEH-rah-tops
It is mostly was found in Woodlands of North America.
This incredible beast was around late Cretaceous (80-70 million years ago) it is about 13 feet long and one ton and it is a herbivore.
About Avaceratops:
Named after the wife of the man who discovered its remains, Avaceratops was an unusually big-headed ceratopsian--which may or may not be explained by the fact that the sole specimen is of a juvenile (the babies and juveniles of most vertebrates tend have proportionately bigger heads compared to the rest of their bodies). Because there's a lot paleontologists don't know about the growth stages of ceratopsians, it may yet turn out that Avaceratops was a species of an existing genus; as things stand, it seems to have occupied an intermediate evolutionary stage between the better-known Centrosaurus and Triceratops.
