Asiaceratops

Asiaceratops is a herbivorous dinosaur of the end of the Crétacé. It has a pointed nozzle like those of the parrots. Its fossils were found in China, Mongolia and Ouzbékistan in 1972. The species A.salsopaludalis , was formally described by Nessov and Kaznyshkina in 1989. A second species, A.sulcidens, were also mentioned. According to his poor remainders, one tried to classify Asiaceratops among the Protoceratopsidae (Tereschenko & Alifanov, 2003); then, You & Dodson (2004) made a Nomen dubium of it, with the rigor classified among Neoceratopsia. Makovicky & Norell, at the time of the description of the kind Yamaceratops, revalidé the kind.
