Psittacosaurus means the "parrot-lizard" in reference to the shape of its beak. Although they don't look much alike, Psittacosaurus was an ancestor of the four-footed horned dinosaurs such as Triceratops. Paleontologists determined this by discovering that Psittacosaurus possessed a special bone called the rostral, found elsewhere only in the horned dinosaurs. Psittacosaurus lived 110 million years ago during the Early Cretaceous, while Triceratops was abundant in the Late Cretaceous, 75 million years ago.
