Einiosaurus
''Einiosaurus'' is a medium-sized herbivorous centrosaurine ceratopsian dinosaur from the Upper Cretaceous (Campanian stage) of northwestern Montana. It looked like ''Triceratops''. The name means 'buffalo lizard', in a combination of Blackfeet Indian ''eini'' and Latinized Ancient Greek ''sauros''; the specific name (''procurvicornis'') means 'with a forward-curving horn' in Latin. ==Description== ''Einiosaurus'' was a herbivorous dinosaur. In 2010 Gregory S. Paul estimated its body length at 4.5 metres, its weight at 1.3 tonnes.〔Paul, G.S., 2010, ''The Princeton Field Guide to Dinosaurs'', Princeton University Press p. 262〕 Its snout is narrow and very pointed. It is typically portrayed with a low, strongly forward and downward curving nasal horn that resembles a bottle opener, though this may only occur in some adults. The supraorbital (over-the-eye) horns are low, short and triangular in top view if present at all, as opposed to the chasmosaurines, such as ''Triceratops'', which have prominent supraorbital horns. A pair of large spikes, the third epiparietals, projects backwards from the relatively small frill. Smaller osteoderms adorn the frill edge. The first epiparietals are largely absent.
