==History of discovery== thumb|left|Holotype skull The Yamaceratops fossil material is known from the Javkhlant Formation. The age of the type locality was originally thought to be the Early Cretaceous, but it was reevaluated in 2009 as the Late Cretaceous. The holotype IGM 100/1315 consists of a partial skull; other material has been found in 2002 and 2003 and has been ascribed to the genus.
