Scientists in Alberta have identified a new type of horned dinosaur that looked like triceratops but lived 15 million years earlier. Called xenoceratops foremostensis, it was a 2-ton vegetarian that flourished 80 million years ago, making it the oldest known large-bodied horned dinosaur to be found in Canada. Fossils of xenoceratops were first collected in 1958, but were left unidentified at the Canadian Museum of Nature in Ottawa. Scientists working on a larger project, the Southern Alberta Dinosaur Project, have identified about 10 new dinosaurs, including xenoceratops.
