Lokiceratops (Deluxe by CollectA)

Lokiceratops is a recently discovered centrosaurine ceratopsid from the famous Judith River Formation of Montana, United States. Its name honours the Norse god Loki, who is frequently depicted wearing a helmet with curved, blade-like horns (especially so in the Marvel comics and movies) that are somewhat reminiscent of the ones found on its frill.

Lokiceratops (Frederik) (Prehistoric Animal Models by PNSO)

The year 2024 saw a steep decline in the number of models produced by PNSO, 7 models compared to 15 in 2023. Now we’re a month into 2025 with radio silence from PNSO, which has led some to worry about the company’s future. But what PNSO lacked in quantity last year they made up for in quality, and species diversity. In 2023 all but two of their models were theropods but in 2024 we got […]

Newly discovered giant species of dinosaur named after Thor's brother by scientists - Times of India

Scientists have identified a colossal new dinosaur species named Lokiceratops rangiformis, found in Montana's badlands. Named after Norse god Loki for its horned helmet-like headgear, it lived 78 million years ago during the Late Cretaceous. Weighing over five tons and 22 feet long, it's the largest known centrosaurine in North America. This discovery enhances our understanding of dinosaur evolution and showcases the region's rich diversity of horned dinosaurs.

New, giant horned dinosaur discovered in the ancient swamps of Montana: Lokiceratops rangiformis, meaning “Loki’s horned face that looks like a caribou.” 🤩

“This new dinosaur pushes the envelope on bizarre ceratopsian headgear, sporting the largest frill horns ever seen in a ceratopsian,” said Joseph Sertich, a paleontologist with the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute and Colorado State University, and co-leader of the study.
