Abstract: A specifically indeterminate specimen of the basal neoceratopsian dinosaur Auroraceratops is described. Auroraceratops sp.is based on a partial articulated skeleton, including the skull and lower jaw, collected from the Lower Cretaceous Xinminpu Group in the Yujingzi Basin of the Mazongshan area, northwestern China. A. sp.differs from the type species A. rugosus in having a longer face and a narrower nasal, among other features. The finding of A. sp. extends the geographic distribution of this genus approximately 100 km southeast, and makes the Early Cretaceous Mazongshan area the richest single basal neoceratopsian locality in the world.
