Protoceratops with Movable Jaw
Protoceratops, meaning "first horned face" is a small dinosaur that lived in Asia during the Late Cretaceous, around 75 to 71 million years ago. Protoceratops were small ceratopsians, about 2–2.5 m (6.6–8.2 ft) long and 180 kg (400 lb) in body mass. They were characterized by a proportionally large skull, short and stiff neck, and neck frill. The frill was likely used for display or intraspecific combat, as well as protection of the neck and anchoring of jaw muscles. A horn-like structure was present over the nose. They had a prominent parrot-like beak at the tip of the jaws. Protoceratops were herbivores equipped with prominent jaws and teeth suited for chopping foliage and other plant material.
