Bainoceratops & other basal neoceratopsians



It was mentioned by T. Michael Keesey a few days earlier that:

The "nasal horn" of _Montanoceratops_ (a leptoceratopsid) actually turned out
to be a jugal (IIRC) -- so no horns.

Hmm... so does that mean that the previous reconstructions of _Montanoceratops_ are all false? And does that mean that _Montanoceratops_ would look more like a giant _Leptoceratops_ or _Udanoceratops_? And I do suppose that _Montanoceratops_ position as a coronosaurian are now not in favour.


And just a test of my basic osteology... is the jugal the "cheek horn" thingy present in all ceratopsians?

Anyone know what this _Bainoceratops_ looked like?
