The Tiny Horned Dinosaur Gobiceratops minutus gen. et sp. nov. 
(Bagaceratopidae, Neoceratopsia) 
from the Upper Cretaceous of Mongolia 

Abstract?A new horned dinosaur, Gobiceratops minutus gen. et sp. nov. 
(Bagaceratopidae, Neoceratopsia), 
from the Upper Cretaceous Baruungoyot Formation of the Khermin Tsav locality 
(southern Mongolia) is 
described based on a 3.5-cm-long skull. The nasal included in the orbital 
border suggests relationship between 
the new taxon and Bagaceratops rozdestvenskyi. It is proposed that, unlike 
other neoceratopsian families, the 
family Bagaceratopidae is of Paleoasiatic origin.
