Fantastic fossils and where to find them

U.S. National Science Foundation-funded researchers recently found a fossil that led to the discovery of a brand-new dinosaur species, Lokiceratops rangiformis. This horned dinosaur, an earlier relative of the triceratops, has asymmetric horns on top of its head but lacks the typical nose horn found in other relatives.  

Lokiceratops rangiformis was discovered in northern Montana by a research team from the University of Utah. The team uncovered skull bones of Lokiceratops, which places this specimen in the body fossil category. These individual skull bones were painstakingly placed into a reconstruction of a complete skull. As more pieces were placed, the team began to see confirmation that they had discovered a whole new species of dinosaur.
