• Everyone’s favorite Norse trickster god has adopted yet another form – a horned dinosaur that lived ~78 million years ago. In a study published yesterday, a team of US scientists revealed a name for their newly discovered dinosaur species: Lokiceratops rangiformis, named after its skull’s resemblance to Loki’s famous helmet. At 11,000 pounds and 22 feet long, Lokiceratops is the largest centrosaurine – a family of dinos also called "horn faces" – ever found in North America, where it roamed what’s now the badlands of Montana. While Lokiceratops has obvious similarities with its fellow herbivore, Triceratops, they belong to separate lineages and lived in eras that were ~12 million years apart.
