A new species of horned dinosaur that lived during the Late Cretaceous Period, about 76 million years ago, was found in a fossil bed at a prehistoric graveyard in the badlands of Alberta, Canada.
The new species of dinosaur, named Centrosaurus brinkmani, belongs to the group of dinosaurs related to the well-known Triceratops, but lived about 10 million years earlier. Remains of the dinosaur were discovered in bone beds in southern Alberta, the largest of which is in Dinosaur Provincial Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
