Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Medusaceratops (meaning "Medusa horn face") is a genus of herbivorous ceratopsian dinosaur. It is a chasmosaurine ceratopsian which lived during the Late Cretaceous period in what is now Montana. Its fossils have been recovered from the Judith River Formation, dating to 77.5 million years ago.The name "Medusaceratops" was coined by Canadian paleontologist Michael J. Ryan of the Cleveland Museum of Natural History in 2003 in a dissertation; these fossils were confused with those of Albertaceratops, an unrelated centrosaurine ceratopsian from Alberta which had been described in 2007.
