    • Abstract:
      The article focuses on the paleontologic discovery by scientists from Utah Museum of Natural History and University of Utah of two dinosaurs called Utahceratops gettyi and Kosmoceratops richardsoni that lived in Utah during the late Cretaceous period around 76 million years ago. Both dinosaurs had large skulls with pointed horns over the nose and atop each eye, and hornlike ornaments in a circle around the skull's top part. The plant-eating rhinolike dinosaurs' family name means "horned faces."
