HISTORY
The name Avaceratops is in honor of the original discoverer's wife, Ava. The first remains of this small horned herbivorous dinosaur were discovered only as recent as 1981 in the Judith River Formation of Montana, USA. The fossil was published in 1986 and the name Avaceratops lammersi was assigned. In 1999, a second skull was described. The original fossil remains indicated a quadrupedal ceratopsian herbivore that would have only been 2.3 meters in length but the second skull was larger, indicating the size could have been 4.2 meters long. Some say the first discovery was a juvenile. In either case, scientists agree this is one of the smallest members of the horned dinosaur family.
