ESSAY

Similar to the larger Carnotaurus, but with proportionally longer arms, a longer and lower skull, and bumps instead of horns.

The single specimen was buried at the bottom of a shallow lake, in sediment that became the Anacleto Member of the Rio Colorado Formation. Part of its skull was broken apart.
