Field notes
About Eucentrosaurus
What it was like
Eucentrosaurus is another name for Centrosaurus, a horned dinosaur with a large nose horn and a frill.
How it was found
Chure and McIntosh proposed the name Eucentrosaurus in 1989, because they thought the name Centrosaurus was already used for a lizard. Later work showed the names were spelled differently, so Centrosaurus is still the valid name.
