A new giant dinosaur with 'the largest frill horns' ever seen among the prehistoric creatures has been discovered. Resembling the build of a rhino, Lokiceratops rangiformis's fossils were unearthed in the US state of Montana. The dinosaur, which roamed Earth nearly 78 million years ago, had a uniquely ornate frill with at least 20 horns on it, scientists said, and measured 22ft long.
'The horns and frill were most likely used for display in Lokiceratops and other horned dinosaurs,' paleontologist Joe Sertich, co-lead author of the study published in the journal PeerJ, said. 'These displays could have been used to intimidate rivals, attract mates or recognise members of the same species,' Mr Sertich, of the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute and Colorado State University, said.
