Bainoceratops (meaning "mountain horned face", after the type locality, Bayn Dzak) is a

ceratopsian dinosaur from the late Campanian in the Late Cretaceous. The type species is B. efremovi.[1] Its fossils were found in southern Mongolia in the Djadochta Formation
.

History

John R. Horner determined Bainoceratops and other dubious genera to be either a variant or immature specimen of other well-known genera. Based on this reasoning, they excluded Bainoceratops from their phylogenetic analysis.[3]
