Mojoceratops Thursday




 Mojoceratops was discovered by a close examination of some skulls that had been assigned to the more well Chasmosaurus.‭ ‬The more the skulls were studied the more differences were discovered,‭ ‬resulting in the creation of a new genus.‭ ‬The palaeontologists who were looking the skulls over initially came up with name Mojoceratops when they were brainstorming ideas.‭ ‬However when they realised that a mojo is actually a charm for attracting members of the opposite sex they found the name to be very fitting as ceratopisan most probably used their frills for that exact purpose.‭ ‬Additionally the frill dips in the middle making the two halves form a structure that loosely resembles a heart shape.
