It was described in 2014, and although an extensive amount of information about this dinosaur is not yet available due to the fragmentary nature of the fossils found, its discovery has provided important data on the diversity of ceratopsians in Asia.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis dinosaur belongs to the ceratopsian family, a group of herbivores known for their characteristic horns and bony frills at the back of their heads. \u003cem\u003eLokiceratops rangiformis\u003c\/em\u003e had an estimated length of 6.7 meters.\u003cbr\u003eIts name \"Lokiceratops\" refers to \"Loki,\" the Norse god known for his cunning and shapeshifting, due to the unusual and less common features it presents compared to other ceratopsians.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe most striking feature of \u003cem\u003eLokiceratops\u003c\/em\u003e is its skull, which has a narrower and more elongated shape compared to other ceratopsians. Although the fossils do not show evidence of prominent horns like those seen in \u003cem\u003eTriceratops\u003c\/em\u003e, some studies suggest that it might have had smaller bony structures over its snout or eyes, though not as developed. Additionally, it possessed a relatively small bony frill at the back of its head, which probably did not have a defensive role but would have been more related to display or communication within its social group, similar to other ceratopsians.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eLokiceratops rangiformis\u003c\/em\u003e was a herbivore, and its diet consisted mainly of low-lying plants that it plucked with its horny beak, a typical characteristic of ceratopsians. The beak allowed it to cut vegetation easily before grinding it with its rear teeth, which were arranged in specialized rows for crushing fibrous plant material. Like other ceratopsians, it likely inhabited plains and grasslands where plants such as ferns, cycads, and conifers were abundant.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe environment in which \u003cem\u003eLokiceratops\u003c\/em\u003e lived was diverse and included other herbivorous and carnivorous dinosaurs. During the Late Cretaceous, Mongolia harbored a rich dinosaur fauna, and although \u003cem\u003eLokiceratops\u003c\/em\u003e was relatively small compared to other ceratopsians, it must have shared its ecosystem with large predators such as theropods and other herbivores, such as hadrosaurs. It probably lived in herds, as many ceratopsians show complex social behaviors, and its bony frill may have played a role in communication or attracting mates during the breeding season.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eApproximate measurements of Lokiceratops:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e1:35 Scale Complete\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eLength 151 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eHeight 83 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eWidth 79 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eSnout-to-tail length 193 mm\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e1:20 Scale Assembly Kit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eLength 264 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eHeight 146 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eWidth 138 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eSnout-to-tail length 335 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Remote Times","offers":[{"title":"1:35 \/ Unprimed","offer_id":54832965419276,"sku":"DC-1422-1100-SINI","price":66.7,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"1:35 \/ Primed","offer_id":54832965452044,"sku":"DC-1422-1100-IMPRI","price":73.7,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"1:35 \/ Hand-painted","offer_id":54832965484812,"sku":"DC-1422-1100-PINTA","price":188.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"1:20 \/ Unprimed","offer_id":54832965517580,"sku":"DC-1422-135-SINI","price":138.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"1:20 \/ Primed","offer_id":54832965550348,"sku":"DC-1422-135-IMPRI","price":150.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"1:20 \/ Hand-painted","offer_id":54832965583116,"sku":"DC-1422-135-PINTA","price":313.6,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0672\/1106\/7660\/files\/Loki.png?v=1781429751","url":"https:\/\/dinosauriacreatures.com\/en\/products\/lokiceratops-rangiformis-6","provider":"Dinosauria Creatures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
