That's a find and a half. I think this is the first time I've heard of any major finds coming out of South Korea...

yes... all I knew from Korea was about nice dinosaur tracks, the G Dinosaur World Expo held in 2009 and very nice paleontology related postal stamps :)

First horned dinosaur from South Korea discovered

Scientists have discovered a new horned dinosaur. The newly identified genus, Koreaceratops hwaseongensis, lived about 103 million years ago during the late Early Cretaceous period. The specimen is the first ceratopsian dinosaur from the Korean peninsula.
