A new horned dinosaur from an Upper Cretaceous bone bed in Alberta

October 1, 2008, Philip J. Currie, Wann Langston, Jr., and Darren H. Tanke unveiled for the first time the name of a newly discovered horned dinosaur species.

In the first monographic treatment of a horned (ceratopsid) dinosaur in almost a century, this volume presents one of the closest looks at the anatomy, relationships, growth and variation, behaviour, ecology, and other biological aspects of a single dinosaur species.

The research, which was conducted over two decades, was possible because of the discovery of a densely packed bone bed near Grande Prairie, Alberta.

The locality has produced abundant remains of a new species of horned dinosaur (ceratopsian), and parts of at least 27 individual animals were recovered.
