from the Where the heck are the Badlands dept.

Paleontologists from the University of Calgary have discoverred a massive, 70 million year old skull of a horned dinosaur: a pachyrhinosaur, to be exact.
It is described as a 'rare find': the last discovery of this type in the same region dates back to more than 50 years ago when only a partial skull was collected.

Found in the Alberta Badlands in Canada, its 2 metre long head had large bony bumps, short curved horns and a large frill at its neck.
In her statement, researcher Darla Zelenitsky said, "the skull of this animal has an enormous bony structure over the snout that would have made for a very strange looking individual.
