Kulceratops

• Uzbekistan

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

From this dinosaur is so far only a fragment of the upper jaw known. The Fund can indeed imagine one belonging to the ceratopsian, but for a more accurate classification it is too sparse. Therefore Kulceratops nomen dubium is considered.

The fossil of this dinosaur was found in the Khodzhakul' formation in Uzbekistan and first described in 1995. The genus name is derived from the Uzbek cultural ( = "sea", a reference to the location ) and the Greek keratops ( = horn face " ), a common name component of the ceratopsians, from. Type species is K. kulensis. The finds are (early Albian ) dated to the Early Cretaceous to an age of about 113-110 million years.
