The Protoceratops genus lived in Asia during the Late Cretaceous, roughly 71 to 75 million years ago. This sheep-sized herbivore reached 1.8 meters in length and inhabited the Upper Cretaceous Campanian stage of modern-day Mongolia.

The name Protoceratops translates to “first horned face” and describes its role as a basal ceratopsian dinosaur.

Scientists described the first species in 1923 using fossils from the Mongolian Djadokhta Formation.
