Udanoceratops

Taxons Udanoceratops

Skeletal reconstruction of the giant leptoceratopsid Udanoceratops tschizhovi, based on the holotype specimen PIN 3907/11. Postcranial remains are mentioned in the original describing paper but were not described/illustrated.[1] A few vertebrae are figured and described in papers by Tereschhenko, and have been referenced for this skeletal.[2][3][4] Axial length ~3.5 m (11 ft), which agrees with 3–4 m (9.8–13.1 ft) estimates.[3] Color Key   Known   Unknown References ↑ (in Russian) (1992).
