In Depth
Kulceratops is a very interesting genus of ceratopsian dinosaur as the holotype has been dated to coming from a fossil deposit Albian of the Early Cretaceous in age. This makes Kulceratops a candidate for being one of the first ceratopsian dinosaurs to appear. Unfortunately Kulceratops is only known from a partial maxilla (upper jaw bone), making the attribution of further remains so difficult, that many researchers consider the genus to be a dubious genus of dinosaur.
