A partial dinosaur skeleton from the Sustut Basin of northern British
Columbia, Canada, previously described as an indeterminate neornithischian,
is here reinterpreted as a leptoceratopsid ceratopsian, Ferrisaurus
sustutensis, gen. et. sp. nov. The skeleton includes parts of the pectoral
girdles, left forelimb, left hindlimb, and right pes. It can be
distinguished from other named leptoceratopsids based on the proportions of
the ulna and pedal phalanges. This is the first unique dinosaur species
reported from British Columbia, and can be placed within a reasonably
resolved phylogenetic context, with Ferrisaurus recovered as more closely
related to Leptoceratops than Montanoceratops. At 68.2–67.2 Ma in age,
Ferrisaurus falls between, and slightly overlaps with, both Montanoceratops
and Leptoceratops, and represents a western range extension for Laramidian
leptoceratopsids.
