Xuanhuaceratops

Xuanhuaceratops is a genus of dinosaur from the Late Jurassic Period (dated to 150.8-145.5 million years ago).[1] A member of the family Chaoyangsauridae, it was one of the earliest ceratopsians.[2][3][4] The fossils were found in the Houcheng Formation of Hebei Province, northeastern China.[4]

This dinosaur was described in a report in the journal Acta Geologica Sinica by Chinese paleontologist Zhao Xijin and colleagues. Xuanhuaceratops had previously been mentioned in press as "Xuanhuasaurus", a nomen nudum.
