This dinosaur was similar to Triceratops in many ways. The main differences are that it had a small nose horn and some small holes in its frill. It was as big as Triceratops so some scientists think it may have been a Triceratops with a bone disease that made it look different.
Diceratops is the name given to a single skull found nearly a hundred years ago. It appears to be a Triceratops but has unusual openings in its frill. It may be separate species, or a Triceratops with a pathological cause for the holes in its frill. A 1996 study of the specimen concluded it is a valid genus, but that is still not universally accepted.
