New Dinosaur Fills in Evolutionary Gap

Browsing the newspaper this morning before work, I came across this...

Ottawa Native Scores Dinosaur Hat Trick

Michael Ryan, who is Carleton University trained and is the head of vertebrate paleontology at the Cleveland Museum of Natural History as well as being a research associate with the Canadian Museum of Nature, has done some really stunning work in the field this last couple of years, and the new find, called Koreaceratops hwaseongensis, is a fascinating find that fills in a 20 million year gap in the fossil record and evolutionary history.

Lovely stuff this.

If anyone finds a decent photo of what they believe Koreaceratops looks like, please post it here.
