Bravoceratops
''Bravoceratops'' is an extinct genus of large chasmosaurine ceratopsid dinosaur that lived approximately 70 million years ago, and is known from the Late Cretaceous Javelina Formation in what is now Texas, United States. ''Bravoceratops'' was a relatively large and heavily built, quadrupedal ground-dwelling herbivore. This discovery is significant paleontologically because ceratopsian dinosaur remains occur only rarely in the Javelina Formation, and ''Bravoceratops'' provides useful temporal and paleobiogeographic data to researchers about the proliferation of chasmosaurines from Edmontonian to Lancian time during the Late Cretaceous.
==Etymology==
The genus name ''Bravoceratops'', means "wild horn-face", and is derived from the Mexican name for the Rio Grande, "Rio Bravo del Norte" (wild river of the north), and the Greek words "keras" (κέρας) meaning "horn" and "ops" (ὤψ) referring to the "face" The specific name ''polyphemus'', refers to the giant cyclops Polyphemus confronted by Odysseus in the Greek epic poem, The Odyssey. ''Bravoceratops'' was described and named by Steven L. Wick and Thomas M. Lehman in 2013 and the type species is ''Bravoceratops polyphemus''.
