Mount Saint Peter
Around 1765 the skull of a "Mosasaurus" was discovered here in a limestone quarry, one of the first recognised reptile fossils, which was later acquired by the Teylers Museum in Haarlem. A more famous "Mosasaurus" fossil was found between 1770 and 1774 but was confiscated by the French in 1794 and is now in the Muséum national d'Histoire naturelle in Paris. Later dinosaur remains were discovered here as well, belonging to "Betasuchus" and "Orthomerus", as well as turtles and fossils of smaller creatures of the sea.
Montanoceratops
The first fossil remains of what we now know as "Montanoceratops" were discovered on the Blackfeet Indian Reservation, west of Buffalo Lake, Montana in the St. Mary River Formation. It was collected in 1916 by Barnum Brown and Peter C. Kaisen of the American Museum of Natural History from terrestrial sediments that were deposited during the Maastrichtian stages of the Cretaceous period, approximately 70 million years ago. After having mounted a reconstruction in 1935, Brown and his assistant Erich Maren Schlaikjer named it in 1942 as a new species of "Leptoceratops": "Leptoceratops cerorhynchos"; this is the type species of "Montanoceratops". The genus name "Montanoceratops", means "Montana horned face", and is derived from the state of Montana, which is the site of the discovery of the holotype specimen, and the Greek words "keras" (κερας) meaning "horn", and "ops" (ωψ) meaning "face". The type and only valid species known today is "Montanoceratops cerorhynchos".
