New dinosaur species has winged crest

Scientists have named a new species of horned dinosaur based on fossils collected from Montana in the United States and Alberta, Canada. Mercuriceratops gemini was about six meters (20 feet) long and weighed more than two tonnes. It lived about 77 million years ago during the Late Cretaceous Period.
