New Horned Dinosaur Reveals Evolution of Nose Horns in Triceratops Family

Dr. Michael Ryan of the Cleveland Museum of Natural History co-led the discovery of a striking new species of horned dinosaur (ceratopsian) based on fossils collected from a bonebed in southern Alberta, Canada. Wendiceratops (WEN-dee-SARE-ah-TOPS) pinhornensis was approximately 6 meters (20 feet) long and weighed more than a ton. It lived about 79 million years ago, making it one of the oldest known members of the family of large-bodied horned dinosaurs that includes the famous Triceratops, the Ceratopsidae. Research describing the new species is published online in the open access journal, PLOS ONE.

Wendiceratops pinhornensis is described from more than 200 bones representing the remains of at least four individuals (three adults and one juvenile) collected from a bonebed in the Oldman Formation of southern Alberta, near the border with Montana, USA. It was an herbivore, and would crop low-lying plants with a parrot-like beak, and slice them up with dozens of leaf-shaped teeth. Wendiceratops had a fantastically adorned skull, particularly for an early member of the horned dinosaur family. Its most distinctive feature is a series of forward-curling hook-like horns along the margin of

the wide, shield-like frill that projects from the back of its skull. The new find ranks among other recent discoveries in having some of the most spectacular skull ornamentation in the horned dinosaur group.

The horn on the nose is the most interesting feature of Wendiceratops. Although the nasal bone is represented by fragmentary specimens and its complete shape is unknown, it is clear that it supported a prominent, upright nasal horncore. This represents the earliest documented occurrence of a tall nose horn in Ceratopsia. Not only does it tell scientists when the nose horn evolved, the research reveals that an enlarged conical nasal horn evolved at least twice in the horned dinosaur family, once in the short-frilled Centrosaurinae group that includes Wendiceratops, and again in the long-frilled Chasmosaurinae group

which includes Triceratops. A nose horn has been generally thought to characterize Ceratopsidae, and be present in their common ancestor.

“Beyond its odd, hook-like frill,

Wendiceratops has a unique horn ornamentation above its nose that

Nothing is better than a good night’s sleep.

Think about how good you feel on those mornings when you wake up alert, jumping out of bed ready to go! That sets you up for a really great day.

Research has shown that people who chronically don’t get enough sleep are generally less healthy, less effective at work or at school, and less happy in their lives. Being sleep deprived also makes you less alert, so you’re more prone to ac-cidents of various types, including auto-mobile accidents.

But many of us don’t sleep well. Many people wake up sluggish in the morning, having to drag themselves out of bed, already thinking about when they

can get the next nap. There are many pos-sible causes of this, but two of the most

common are snoring and sleep apnea.We all know what snoring is. It’s

that annoying noise caused by your tongue or uvula (that piece of flesh that hangs down in the back of your throat) partially blocking your windpipe. As air goes past it, it vibrates, making that rattling sound.

Sleep apnea is the more severe, dangerous cousin of snoring. It occurs when the tongue or other structures in

your throat actually block the windpipe completely while you sleep, causing you to suffocate. Usually you partially wake up after a few seconds, but just enough for you to reposition yourself to get air. Then you fall back to sleep and it happens all over again … and again … and again, sometimes hundreds of times each night! All this can happen without you waking up enough to know it. Then you wake up thinking “I just slept for 7 hours, why am I still tired?”.

The most common remedy offered by medical doctors is something call CPAP (continuous positive air pressure), which involves a machine pumping air into your nose through a mask. It works for a lot of people, and in the most severe cases, it is only option (besides surgery). But some people find that the mask, the tubes which restrict movement, and noise from the machine make it uncomfortable and hard to sleep with.

About now, you’re probably say-ing “what does this have to do with my teeth?”. Well, dental researchers have de-veloped a number of small, comfortable, inexpensive devices that you can wear in your mouth at night to deal with this problem. These devices work by slightly repositioning you lower jaw so that your tongue can’t block your breathing airway. At Dodson & Associates, we can help de-termine which of these devices is best to help you.

So if you’re not sleeping as well as you’d like to, either because of your spouse snoring or your sleep apnea; if you wake up not feeling refreshed, if you feel tired all day long, if you’re not performing as well as you’d like on your job (or your teenager at school); if you want to wake up feeling great, energized, and ready to conquer the world ... Talk to your dentist!

shows the intermediate evolutionary development between low, rounded forms of the earliest horned dinosaurs and the large, tall horns of Styracosaurus, and its relatives,” said Dr. Michael Ryan, curator of vertebrate paleontology at the Cleveland Museum of Natural History, and co-author of

the study. “The locked horns of two Wendiceratops could have been used in combat between males to gain access to territory or females.”

Dr. David Evans, Temerty chair and curator of vertebrate palaeontology at the Royal Ontario Museum in Toronto, Canada, and co-author of

the study said, “Wendiceratops helps us understand the early evolution of skull ornamentation in an iconic group of dinosaurs characterized by

their horned faces. The wide frill of Wendiceratops is ringed by numerous curled horns, the nose had a large, upright horn, and it’s likely there were horns over the eyes too. The number of gnarly frill projections and horns makes it one of the most striking horned dinosaurs ever found.”

The

recognition of Wendiceratops affirms a high diversity of ceratopsids likely associated with a rapid evolutionary radiation in the group. It also helps document high faunal turnover rates of ceratopsid taxa early in their evolution, coupled with some degree of ecological niche partitioning during this time.

The name Wendiceratops (Wendi + ceratops) means “Wendy’s horned-face”, and celebrates renowned Alberta fossil hunter Wendy Sloboda, who discovered the site in 2010. This is a well-deserved honor for Sloboda, who has discovered hundreds of important fossils in the last three decades, including several new species. The name “pinhornensis” refers to Pinhorn Provincial Grazing Reserve, where the quarry was found.

This dinosaur is the latest in a series of new finds being made by Ryan and Evans as part of their Southern Alberta Dinosaur Project, which is designed to fill in gaps in our knowledge of Late Cretaceous dinosaurs in North America and study their evolution. This project focuses on the paleontology of some of oldest dinosaur-bearing rocks in Alberta, as well as rocks of neighboring Montana that are of the same age. A full-sized skeleton and exhibit profiling Wendiceratops is currently on display at the Royal Ontario Museum in Toronto, and the dig uncovering it appeared in the HISTORY Channel documentary series Dino Hunt Canada.

Nationally ranked in all 10 specialties.The only Northeast Ohio children’s hospital ranked in every specialty.

There are about 68 million people in the United States with high blood pressure, and more than 29 million with diabetes. Even more concerning are statistics from studies by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) that indicate the incidence of diabetes and the hospitalization rate for high blood

minorities, particularly African-Americans. “Health problems are more common in minorities.

Reasons for this include genetic predispositions or family, biological and environmental causes, as well as lifestyle habits,” says Frederick Harris, MD, a native Clevelander and Cleveland Clinic Internal Medicine Specialist on staff at South Pointe Hospital. “Often, one health problem can lead to another, especially if it goes untreated. High blood pressure can lead to strokes, heart attacks and renal failure. Untreated hypertension worsens complications of diabetes, and having diabetes makes high blood pressure more likely. The two conditions often coexist.”

Common symptoms of diabetes include:

• Urinating often• Feeling very thirsty• Feeling hungry or losing weight even though you are

eating more• Extreme fatigue • Blurry vision • Cuts/bruises that are slow to heal

Specialized programs address common health issues in minorities.

“If you have symptoms of diabetes, it’s important to see a physician for timely diagnosis and adequate treatment. High blood pressure, known as the “silent killer” typically has no symptoms, so it’s important not only to monitor it routinely, but to control it” says Dr. Harris.

In an effort to better serve the largely African-American population living in the neighborhoods surrounding South Pointe, minority health services available at the hospital have been expanded with the goals of:

• Providing additional education • Increasing the number of people participating in

preventive health screenings (which can lead to earlier diagnoses)

• Improving access to services

Dr. Harris says, “It is imperative that you have a primary care physician to serve as your advocate and guide to see that you get these timely diagnostic and preventive services.”
