Nedoceratops was a controversial genus of ceratopsid herbivorous dinosaur that lived in North America in the late Cretaceous. The name means \"insufficiently horned face\" in reference to its lack of a nasal horn. It was known from a nearly complete skull known as \"USNM 2412\" discovered in Wyoming. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
In fact, Nedoceratops resembles Triceratops. However, it differs in that it had only a rounded stump where the nasal horn should be, and the occipital horns were almost vertical. The skull was slightly larger than average, but its face is relatively shorter than that of Triceratops. It has holes in the ruff of the neck. It was a herbivore that fed on the local plants of the time: conifers and ferns. Its beak was used to remove leaves from plants. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Nedoceratops stood on four legs. Its estimated size was 2.9 to 3 m long and it weighed between 6,000 and 12,000 kg.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
