About Kosmoceratops

Known for having the most ornate skull of any dinosaur. Had 15 horns and horn-like structures on its head — the most of any known ceratopsian. The name means ornamented horned face. Each horn may have served a display purpose for species recognition and mate selection. Lived on the island continent of Laramidia.
