Description: Juvenile Montanoceratops skeleton on display at the Museum of the Rockies in Bozeman, Montana. This specimen was collected in Glacier County, Montana. Montanoceratops (its name means "Montana horned face") was a small frilled dinosaur that lived about 72 to 70 million years ago in Montana and Alberta. The first fossil remains of Montanoceratops were collected near Buffalo Lake, Montana, in 1916. It was about 10 feet long, and roughly 3.5 feet high at the hip. It had a very vertical tail, which was probably a sexual signalling device.
