Barnum Brown
"Anchiceratops" was described and named by American paleontologist Barnum Brown, in 1914, as he believed that this dinosaur represented a transitional form closely related to both "Monoclonius" and "Triceratops" and intermediate between them, but closest in the development of the skull frill to the latter, hence the generic name meaning "near "Ceratops"". The type and only valid species known today is "Anchiceratops ornatus", whose name refers to the ornate margin of its frill.
