Montanoceratops
-described by
Sternberg, 1951 (Dodson, 1996). This Montana species is more
advanced than Leptoceratops. Unfortunately, not much
is known about it. It was originally called Leptoceratops
cerorhynchus, the species name meaning "horn beak". The
described specimen consists of a fine skeleton with a
fragmentary skull. The preserved skull bones include a nasal
showing a prominent blunt horn and fragments of maxilla, a
squamosal, a jugal, a quadratojugal, a quadrate, and a jaw.
The postorbital shows that there were no horns over the eyes
(Dodson, 1996).
