Beijing: Scientists have discovered a new species of ‘horned’ plant-eating dinosaur in China, suggesting the Jurassic period may have had more species diversity than previously thought. The dinosaur species, Hualianceratops wucaiwanensis, stood on its hind feet and was about the size of a spaniel. It is similar in age to the oldest-known member of the “horned dinosaurs,” Yinlong downsi, although both are hornless. Hualianceratops was robust and heavily built, like a chunky version of Yinlong, which was discovered by the same group in 2002. Led by James Clark and Ronald Weintraub from the George Washington University and Xu Xing from Chinese Academy of Sciences, the group discovered the two species in the same fossil beds in Xinjiang Province, China.
