Triceratops has a new cousin -- one from a distant continent, that is.
Scientists from South Korea, the United States and Japan just announced the discovery of a new horned dinosaur, based on an analysis of fossil evidence found in South Korea. Dubbed "Koreaceratops" after its country of origin, the new dinosaur fossil was found in 2008 in a block of rock along the Tando Basin reservoir.
At approximately 5 to 6 feet long and weighing between 60 and 100 pounds, the animal was relatively small compared to its geologically younger, giant relatives like North America's Triceratops. |
Maybe we'll get a statue of this at every other town center.

Ever so slightly better than Sarahsaurus.
Koryeoceratops would have been a better choice though, looks more exotic. Can't say I'm a fan of all these obvious dinosaur names lately. |

Perhaps if they had eaten more kimchi they wouldn't have gone extinct at all. |
