Another new dinosaur has been described.  This one is called Regaliceratops peterhewsi.  CBC Radio’s Quicks & Quarks show has an interview with Dr. Caleb Brown, a paleontologist and Betsy Nichols PostDoctoral Research Fellow at the Royal Tyrell Museum in Drumheller, Alberta, CA.  The animal, a ceratopsian, lived about 68 million years ago, and has been nicknamed Hellboy.  The name stems partially from its appearance and partially because of the hard rock in which it was entombed.  The original paper appeared in Current Biology.
