Sierraceratops (meaning "Sierra horned face") is a genus of chasmosaurine ceratopsian from the Late Cretaceous Hall Lake Formation of New Mexico, United States. The genus contains a single species, Sierraceratops turneri, known from a partial skeleton discovered in 1997.
In 1997, geologist Gregory H. Mack discovered fossils of a large horned dinosaur on the Armendaris ranch of Ted Turner, founder of CNN, near Truth or Consequences in Sierra County, New Mexico. They had been exposed on the surface by erosion. A team of the Natural History Museum of New Mexico subsequently uncovered more bones with the cooperation of the ranch manager, Tom Wadell. In 1998, the discovery was reported in the scientific literature and referred to Torosaurus latus.
More fossils were collected in 2014, 2015, and 2016. They were first prepared by volunteers and later by Sebastian Dalman.
In 2021, the type species Sierraceratops turneri was named and described by Sebastian G. Dalman, Spencer G. Lucas, Steven E. Jasinski, and Nicholas R. Longrich; the final article version was published in 2022. The generic name combines a reference to Sierra County with the Greek keras, "horn", and ops, "face", a common suffix in ceratopsian names. The specific name honours Turner.
The holotype, NMMNH P-76870, was found in a layer of the Hall Lake Formation, dating from the Campanian-Maastrichtian, about seventy-two million years old. It consists of a partial skeleton with skull. It preserves a left premaxilla, a jugal bone with epijugal, a right postorbital horn core, a quadrate, a quadratojugal, the interparietal bar, a squamosal, a pterygoid, a rear left dentary, two neck vertebrae, two back vertebrae, sacral vertebrae, two ribs, a shoulder blade connected to a coracoid, an ulna, a hand claw and an ilium. About 16% of the skeleton has been preserved. It was disarticulated but the various elements were found in close association in a natural position. The fossils are part of the collection of the New Mexico Museum of Natural History & Science.
Sierraceratops compared to other Hall Lake Formation fauna
Sierraceratops was a medium-sized horned dinosaur. The skull was a little less than 2 metres (6.6 ft) long and the animal measured around 4.5 metres (15 ft) in length. Compared to other chasmosaurs, it has short but massive brow horns that are relatively short and robust and a long cheek horn on the jugal. The frill was relatively long and had large holes, the parietal fenestrae, separated by an oval-shaped midline bar.
In the game, it is three times larger than the Triceratops, and is highly territorial, so it is extremely ferocious and attacks players, carnivorous dinosaurs, and contaminated creatures to the point that it immediately becomes hostile when approached, and it charges quickly to stun them.
This dinosaur howls and grants itself a buff that grants attack power, defense power, speed increase, coma resistance, pollution resistance, heat resistance, and cold protection, and causes surrounding creatures to lose their fighting spirit and fear. , grants a debuff that reduces attack power, defense power, and speed.
Taming method
This dinosaur is too ferocious, so taming it is difficult.
How you tame it is a very special kind of tame, almost like a bullfight.
After all, this dino is purposely hostile and will chase after you with a rush to stun you.
Players must mount other creatures and guide them to collide with rocks and other obstacles (other than trees) while escaping from the Sierraceratops.
Sierra raceratops will then collide with an obstacle such as a rock (other than a tree) and will be temporarily stunned.
As soon as you pass out, give Sierraceratops a drink of Energy Brew.
The moment you drink it, the taming gauge will finally rise.
Then, it will immediately get up and chase after you to attack the player again, so all you have to do is guide it to an obstacle such as a rock (other than trees), make it collide with it, and at the moment it faints. By repeatedly feeding Energy Brew to raise the taming gauge, you can finally tame the animal when the taming gauge reaches 100%.
However, if Sierra raceratops are attacked by other creatures, if the player or the creature the player is riding is attacked by Sierra raceratops, or if the layer itself or the creature the player is riding is attacked by another creature, The taming gauge will go down, so be careful.
After taming
You can ride it with a special saddle, and like in the wild, you can charge and howl to stun yourself, giving you buffs that increase attack power, defense power, speed, coma resistance, pollution resistance, heat protection, and cold protection. It is now possible to apply debuffs to surrounding creatures that cause them to lose their will to fight, cause them to fear, and reduce their attack power, defense power, and speed, and the buffs are also applied to players on horseback.
However, there is actually another saddle, and it is this saddle that shows its true potential.
First, the horn is equipped with a gunblade, which can function as a melee sword with a bleeding effect, or as a pump-action shotgun for powerful long-range attacks.
Next, it is full body armor, and the armor cuts damage by 95% from surrounding creatures, making it almost invincible.
What's more, both of his hips are equipped with missiles, allowing him to attack by launching missiles.
The best part is that it is equipped with a gatling on its head, allowing it to perform gatling attacks from its head.
However, to make this saddle you need to use a regular saddle.
If you have any other good ideas, let us know in the comments.
