New horned dinosaur from Menefee Formation of New Mexico

[DD1991]

There is a new centrosaurine ceratopsid from New Mexico described here: https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s12542-021-00555-w

 

If anyone is unaware, the holotype of Menefeeceratops sealeyi was initially described by Williamson (1997), who refrained from from giving it a name because the holotype was incompletely prepared at the time of its initial description. With the description of new centrosaurines from southern Laramidia over the past decade, the exact relationships of Menefeeceratops to other centrosaurines have now been possible to decipher.
