Liaoceratops — size comparison — facts and sources

Liaoceratops was a small early relative of giant horned dinosaurs. Known material from China’s Liaoning province includes skulls documenting the origins of frills and other ceratopsian features. It lacked huge Triceratops-like horns.

The holotype description notes incompletely fused skull sutures and probable immaturity. Body, limb and tail proportions are less certain than preserved head features. Teeth indicate plant food.
