Formally named and described just two years ago (2023), Furcatoceratops fossils are associated with the Judith River Formation of Montana.
The holotype (NSM PV 24660) was first described in 2015. It was thought to represent an Avaceratops (A. lammersi). This centrosaurine, also from the Judith River Formation had been described in 1986 (Dodson). However, subsequent analysis of the fossil material, believed to represent a subadult led to the establishment of the Furcatoceratops genus.
An assessment of bodyweight based on measurements of the left femur indicate that this dinosaur might have weighed around five hundred kilograms. Researchers estimate that this horned dinosaur was around four metres long when fully grown. Everything Dinosaur team members have used these calculations as their basis for their Furcatoceratops scale drawing.
