Abstract
A newly described dinosaur species, Lokiceratops rangiformis, has been discovered in Montana. The dinosaur had a unique frill on its head with spikes and two large, blade-like horns. However, some scientists believe it may be an ornate example of a previously known species. The dinosaur's skull and skeleton were found in a Montana quarry and were purchased by the Evolution Museum in Denmark. The discovery of Lokiceratops rangiformis adds to the growing evidence of diverse animal species in the region. However, there is debate among scientists about the number of horned dinosaur species that could coexist in such a small area. Some researchers question the collecting methods used for the fossils, but others are excited about the increasing number of horned dinosaur species being found. [Extracted from the article]
