Arrhinoceratops
-described by Parks, 1925 (Dodson, 1996).
Arrhinoceratops brachyops means "without a nose horn
face, short face". Parks described this ceratopsid as having
large supraorbital horn cores that are directed outwards and
forward. He also said that it is missing a nasal horn core
(Dodson, 1996). He further went on to describe its short
face, large flat crest, long squamosal, and its parietal
which has oval fontanelles (Dodson, 1996). Since Parks'
analysis, Arrhinoceratops has been re-examined.
Recently Tyson has noted that there is in fact a true nasal
horn core, and an epinasal (Dodson, 1996). Unfortunately
Arrhinoceratops is rare, only a single skull has ever
been described. Arrhinosaurus is the last of the
long-frilled Ceratopsids to be described (Dodson,
1996).
