The New Year of January. Bainoceratops

Bainoceratops was described as a genus of protoceratopsid ceratopsian.‭ ‬However the genus has only been described from a partial vertebral column,‭ ‬and although this has previously been seen to be enough to distinguish Bainoceratops from other genera,‭ ‬some authors now consider Bainoceratops to actually be a synonym to the much more famous Protoceratops,‭ ‬a genus that was also active at the same time and location where the Bainoceratops type material was recovered from.
