Description

Machairoceratops cronusi was a distinctive horned dinosaur from the Late Cretaceous Wahweap Formation of Utah.

A medium-sized centrosaurine ceratopsid, it is best known for its dramatic, forward-curving, blade-like horns on the back of its frill—unique among known ceratopsians.

These elongated, sickle-shaped ornaments likely served in visual display, species recognition, or intraspecific competition.

Machairoceratops possessed a parrot-like beak for cropping vegetation and a robust body adapted for life in river-influenced floodplain habitats.

Its discovery has provided valuable insight into the diversity and evolutionary experimentation of frill ornamentation within Late Cretaceous ceratopsians, highlighting a remarkable lineage of increasingly elaborate cranial structures.
