Asiaceratops

• Uzbekistan

Asiaceratops is a little-known genus of bird Beck dinosaurs ( ornithopods ) from the group of ceratopsians.

From this dinosaur only teeth, skull fragments and possibly toe bones are previously known. The finds are too sparse for a more detailed systematic classification, so Asiaceratops nomen dubium is considered.

The fossil remains of this dinosaur were found in the Khodzhakul' formation in Uzbekistan and first described in 1989. The genus name means " Asian -horned face " type species is A. salsopaludalis. The finds are dated to the early Cretaceous (late Cenomanian or Turonian ) at an age of around 95-89 million years.
