Rock formations called “hoodoos” fill the Bisti De-Na-Zin Wilderness in northern New Mexico. The desert area is rich with fossils from dinosaurs and animals that lived here in ancient times.

The Bisti Badlands, New Mexico...

These surreal rock formations are some of New Mexico's greatest treasures. The Bisti/De-Na-Zin Wilderness is a 45,000-acre (18,000 ha) wilderness area located in San Juan County in the U.S. state of New Mexico. Sediments that created them were deposited 75 million years ago, as the dinosaurs still roamed the Earth. Then, millions of years of erosion formed these residual formations. Once covered in swamps and deltas of the Western Interior Seaway, the area was filled with sediments and organic materials in prehistoric times. This particular image shows a formation called the "cracked eggs", which are the result of differential erosion between hard and soft sediments.

The Bisti/De-Na-Zin Wilderness encompasses 41,170 acres of rock formations that would seem more natural on Mars. It is one of several protected badlands in the Four Corners area. Ah-She-Sle-Pah Wilderness is a few miles south. Angel Peak badlands is about 20 miles northeast.

Bisticeratops froeseorum Dalman et al., 2022 (new genus and species)

(Type skull of Bisticeratops froeseorum, from Dalman et al., 2022)

Meaning of name: Bisticeratops = Bisti/De-na-zin Wilderness Area horned face [in Greek]; froeseorum = for Edgar Froese [the late founder of the band Tangerine Dream] and Jerome Froese [former member of Tangerine Dream and founder of the band Loom]

Age: Late Cretaceous (Campanian), about 74 million years ago

Where found: Kirtland Formation, New Mexico, U.S.A.

How much is known: Nearly complete skull of one individual.

Notes: Bisticeratops was a chasmosaurine ceratopsian, making it a fairly close relative of Triceratops. The holotype skull of Bisticeratops was originally considered a specimen of Pentaceratops, another chasmosaurine from the Campanian of New Mexico. However, a new study identifies several distinguishing features that suggest it is a separate species. In addition, Bisticeratops is approximately 2 million years younger than Pentaceratops proper. Along with several other recently named ceratopsians, such as Sierraceratops, Navajoceratops, and Terminocavus, Bisticeratops shows that chasmosaurine diversity was very high in the Campanian of southwestern North America.

The Bisticeratops type specimen is also noteworthy in that it preserves multiple bite marks that were likely made by tyrannosaurids. One of these bite marks shows signs of healing, indicating that this individual had survived at least one attack from a predator.

Reference: Dalman, S.G., S.E. Jasinski, and S.G. Lucas. 2022. A new chasmosaurine ceratopsid from the Upper Cretaceous (Campanian) Farmington Member of the Kirtland Formation, New Mexico. New Mexico Museum of Natural History and Science Bulletin 90: 127–153.
