This weeks #Lego #FossilFriday is #Xenoceratops.

In 1958, fragments of a skull were found by Wann Langston Jr in the Foremost Formation. These fragments went into storage in the Canadian Museum of Nature.

In 2003, David C. Evans and Michael J. Ryan rediscovered the specimens and in 2009 they decided to do a more in depth study of the specimen.

In 2012, Ryan, Evans, and Kieran M. Sheppard described the new species species, naming it Xenoceratops foremostensis.
