Description


A relatively recent discovery is Lokiceratops from 2019. Discovered on private land that sits on what is known as the Judith River Formation near the Montana/Canadian border. A large ceratopsian about 22 feet long and likely a distant relative to Albertaceratops. It was named after the deity Loki who has been often portrayed in modern times with a helmet sporting a pair of long horns. The two blade like horns at the top of the frill are the largest and prominent seen on a ceratopsian from this order of Chasmsaurines. This is about 73 million years ago when the area was swampy and had numerous floodplains and waterways emptying into the now shrinking Western Interior Seaway. A small family group of Brachylophosaurus are in the background. I used Zbrush to modify Dinoraul's model of Albertaceratops using online photos of skull references and speculative imagery of postcranial portions.
