There is some hope that this is a new ceratops species, similar
but different from the well know triceratops.  Since they average
about one new species found a month, this could very well be a
unknown ceratopsian.  Robert Gaston the dinosaur hunter and
talented sculptor produces some of the world's finest and most
sought after castings of dinosaur bones, skeletons, claws, from
flying, swimming, and walking creatures living hundreds of
millions of years ago-many having lived just a mile or so from
his current home.

If you are in the area you  should call and come have a look at the wonderful work done here in Gaston's casting area.

His work is wonderful art, that is filled with wonder and
science.  Robert Gaston is also the man who found a new
species of ankylosauria, and it was named after his great
find.  The new ankylosauria is called the "Gastonia".
There is one on display at the Museum of Western
Colorado in Fruita.  The Museum is wonderful facility
with tons of great exhibits and even a lab where you can
watch people preparing the finds brought in from the
field.

Robert Gaston and his wife live in Fruita, just about
3 miles from the museum, but call first.
