It was a relative of [[Hypsilophodon]]. It lived 132 [[million]] [[year]]s ago, in the western part of what is now North America. It was 6&nbsp;ft (2 metres) long and 3&nbsp;ft (1 metre) high. The remains are bones from various parts of the body. It had a steep face, a raised knob on the upper jaw, and a larger knob on the cheekbone. Some of the bones may have allowed movement within the skull (cranial kinesis) as well. Like other hypsilophodonts, it had beak teeth.<ref>Weishampel, David B. and Heinrich, Ronald E. 1992.
