प्रोटोसेराटॉप्स इसके अंग्रेजी अर्थ का उदाहरण

Although ceratopsians have been found all over the world, protoceratopsids are only known from Asia, with most specimens found in China and the Nemegt Basin in Mongolia.

As ceratopsians, protoceratopsids were herbivorous, with constantly replacing tooth batteries made for slicing through plants and a hooked beak for grabbing them.

Sereno's definition ensures that Protoceratopsidae is monophyletic, but probably excludes some dinosaurs that have been traditionally thought of as protoceratopsids (for example, Leptoceratops and Montanoceratops).

In Protoceratops and Bagaceratops (and also in the non-protoceratopsid Leptoceratops), there is a blade-shaped parietal sagittal crest (Sereno 2000: 505).

Several other more recently recognized genera may also be protoceratopsids.

Compared to more derived ceratopsians, protoceratopsids had a deep and wide oral cavity, though more narrow than in predecessors like Psittacosaurus, which may have aided in breathing or thermoregulation.

The vertebral column of protoceratopsids was S-shaped, and the vertebrae had unusually long neural spines, with spines on caudal vertebrae that were five times as tall as the centrum.

Based on the size of its sclerotic ring, Protoceratops had an unusually large eye among protoceratopsids.

There are three phases in the life cycle of a protoceratopsid: juvenile, subadult, and adult.

On the other hand, Tereschenko proposed that protoceratopsids were actually aquatic, using their laterally-flattened tails as a paddle to aid in swimming.

Although most studies suggest that they lie outside the protoceratopsids and ceratopsids, some studies suggest that they may be allied with Ceratopsidae.
