Mr. Mojoceratops Risin'

[CalMeacham]

When Nicholas Longrich discovered a new dinosaur species with a heart-shaped frill on its head, he wanted to come up with a name just as flamboyant as the dinosaur’s appearance. Over a few beers with fellow paleontologists one night, he blurted out the first thing that came to mind: Mojoceratops."It was just a joke, but then everyone stopped and looked at each other and said, ‘Wait – that actually sounds cool,’ " said Longrich, a postdoctoral associate at Yale University. “I tried to come up with serious names after that, but Mojoceratops just sort of stuck.”

Mojoceratops: New dinosaur species named for flamboyant frill

Looks like the new fossil is a case of old skulls thought to be my friend the Chasmosaurus re-interpreted in light of new data and more careful study. But we can always use a new ceratopsian, especially one with a cool name.

That’s awesome! The only name I can think that could top it would be the Colberasaurus (we just need for some paleontologist to discover a skeleton with giant balls).

If you turn the picture upside down, it does look like a sack.

I nominate this topic/thread title as one of all time best.
