Chasmosaurus irvinensis

Where in the World?

Ceratopsians are only known to have existed in western North America, but they were widespread within that range -- they have been found from north eastern Alaska to the Mexican border. Nature's new ceratopsian Chasmosaurus irvinensis was collected near Irvine, Alberta -- about 32 kilometres from Medicine Hat.
