Check this fellow out. Looks like a Texas Longhorn. Nasutoceratops (big nose horn face.. poor thing stuck with that moniker).

Nasutoceratops appears to belong to a previously unrecognized group of horned dinosaurs that lived on Laramidia, and provides strong evidence supporting the idea that distinct northern and southern dinosaur communities lived on this landmass for over a million years during the Late Cretaceous.
