Koreaceratops

Koreaceratops () is a genus of basal ceratopsian dinosaur discovered in Albian-aged (Early Cretaceous) rocks of South Korea.

==Discovery== left|thumb|Skeletal diagram It is based on KIGAM VP 200801, an articulated series of 36 caudal vertebrae associated with partial hind limbs and ischia. This specimen was found in a sandstone block that had been incorporated into the Tando seawall at Hwaseong City; the way the specimen is cut off suggests that more of it was present before quarrying. The seawall was built in 1994, and the bones were first brought to the attention of paleontologists in 2008, after a public official noticed them. The type specimen came from the Albian-aged Tando beds. Koreaceratops was described by Yuong-Nam Lee and colleagues in 2011. The genus name is a combination of "Korea" and the Greek κέρας (keras) meaning 'horn' and ὄψις (opsis) meaning 'face'. The type species is K. hwaseongensis, named after Hwaseong City.
