Ceratopsia

/ˌsɛrətɑpˈsiːə/ noun

Definition

An infraorder of herbivorous dinosaurs with distinctive horns and bony neck frills, including famous species like Triceratops and Protoceratops.

Etymology

From Greek 'keras' (horn) + 'opsia' (appearance), literally 'horn-faced appearance,' named by paleontologists studying their fossil skulls.

Kelly Says

These dinosaurs invented an arms race 80 million years ago—their elaborate horns and frills weren't just decorative but were weapons and shields used to battle each other for mates and territory.
