Brachyceratops ("small horned face") is an extinct genus of small herbivorous ceratopsian dinosaur from the Late Cretaceous , discovered in Alberta ( Canada ) and Montana ( United States ).
This genus is represented by a single species , Brachyceratops montanensis , described by Charles Whitney Gilmore in 1914 [ 1 ] , which was discovered in the Two Medicine Formation of Montana and dates from the Campanian.
Very small compared to its relatives such as Centrosaurus or Triceratops , it was only 70 centimeters high and 1.80 meters long.
Previously, only one specimen , presumably a juvenile, was known, and just as with Monoclonius , paleontologists seem increasingly inclined to want to classify brachyceratops as actually being a representative of another known genus of centrosaurine ceratopsian . In 2007, Michael J. Ryan proposed that it is the juvenile form of Styracosaurus ovatus [ 2 ] , which has since been renamed Rubeosaurus ovatus .
