Protoceratops family

Protoceratops andrewsi is a fascinating dinosaur that roamed the Earth during the Upper Cretaceous period, around 70 million years ago, in what is now Mongolia. Related to the well-known Triceratops, this dinosaur was relatively small, with adults measuring about 6 feet (1.8 meters) in length. With a rich collection of fossils available, researchers have successfully illustrated how Protoceratops hatchlings developed into their adult forms. Our detailed models showcase the distinct frill shapes believed to characterize both juvenile and adult dinosaurs, representing a complete family unit consisting of Dad, Mum, Junior, and Wee Lass.
