About Serendipaceratops Australia Stamp

Australia Post has issued postage stamp on dinosaurs in 2013.  One of the postage stamps was about Serendipaceratops.  It has 60c denomination.

Serendipaceratops

Serendipaceratops is a genus of herbivorous ornithischian dinosaur from the early Cretaceous Period of Australia. The type species, S. arthurcclarkei, was named in 2003. The only known bone of Serendipaceratops is an ulna (forearm bone). It was discovered in 1993 in the Wonthaggi Formation of Victoria, Australia.  The name Serendipaceratops means “serendipitous horned face”. It was named after the Serendipity Coast of Australia, where it was discovered, and the Greek word “ceratops” meaning “horned face”.

The ulna of Serendipaceratops is similar to that of other ceratopsians, but it is shorter and more robust. This suggests that Serendipaceratops was a small dinosaur, about the size of a sheep. The exact classification of Serendipaceratops is uncertain. It was originally described as a member of the Neoceratopsia, a group of advanced ceratopsians that includes Triceratops. However, some paleontologists believe that Serendipaceratops may be more basal, or primitive, than other neoceratopsians.

The discovery of Serendipaceratops is significant because it is the only known ceratopsian dinosaur from the southern hemisphere. It also provides evidence that ceratopsians were more widespread than previously thought.
