I think it was the first contender for Earliest Ceratopsian when it as found, thats why.

Still, I thought Psittacosaurus was discovered pretty much around the same time.

At that time, as a small large-headed, frilled ceratopsian, it was thought to be of large significance in relation to Triceratops, there's not much more behind it :P

Besides, Psittacosaurus doesn't have any horns on its face, so that would be quite an oxymoron.

*cough, cough*

IIRC, Protoceratops is named so because at the time of it's naming it was thought to be the ancestor of animals like Triceratops.

Type Psittacosaurus species. However, a quick Wikipedia/deviantART search shows that P. andrewsi didn't have facial horns.

I seriously thought it had facial horns. D:

Had you never seen a Protoceratops before the search? It's well known to be hornless. :P

I wouldn't call that a horn, exactly. If that's a horn, then I grow a horn whenever I bump my head hard enough. :P

What is the largest herbivorous theropod?

I'm not sure a truly herbivorous theropod exhisted. Ornithomimidae, Oviraptoridae and Therizinosaurudae were likely omnivores.

Limusaurus, he was for sure herbivorous. If Elephrosaurus was indeed herbivorous as well ( I think I've read about it somewhere ), it could be the biggest one. If Therizinosaurus or Deinocheirus were fully herbivorous, one of them was the biggest.

Did tarbosaurus live earlier than tyrannosaurus?
