    Not to be confused with Ojoceratops, here comes Mojoceratops perifania, a ceratopsian dinosaur with a hearth shaped frill. Coincidentially enough the frills of ceratopsians are believed to have been used for display during mating season, making Mojoceratops a fairly romantic dinosaur. The name Mojoceratops started out as a joke, meaning "horned face with Mojo" while perifania is greek for 'pride'.
    "You're supposed to use Latin and Greek names, but this just seemed more fun," Longrich said. "You can do good science and still have some fun, too. So why not?"

    Comparison with other ceratopsians:
