Model of a Nasutoceratops skull
Model of a Nasutoceratops skull

Nasutoceratops is a genus of ceratopsid dinosaur that lived in North America about 76.0 to 75.5 million years ago. The first known specimens were discovered in Utah in 2006. A subadult skull with a partial postcranial skeleton and rare skin impressions was made the holotype of the new genus and species Nasutoceratops titusi. It later featured in the Jurassic World films. The holotype skull of Nasutoceratops is approximately 1.5 m (4.9 ft) long, and its body length has been estimated at 4.5 m (14.8 ft) and its weight at 1.5 tonnes. Its brow horns are notable for pointing forward and being approximately 40 percent of total skull length. The functions of ceratopsian frills and horns have been debated: suggestions include signalling, combat, and species recognition; the forward oriented brow horns of Nasutoceratops may have enabled interlocking with opponents. During Nasutoceratops's lifetime its environment was dominated by wetlands supporting a diverse fauna, including other ceratopsians. (Full article...)

When is a Wikipedia project a WikiProject?

The term "WikiProject" is used for projects created for the purpose of managing a specific family of information within Wikipedia. For example, Wikipedia:WikiProject Economics organises articles related to Economics, including economic terms, theories, and economists.

A WikiProject is a resource to help coordinate and organize article writing. Its attached talk page is a convenient forum for those interested in a particular project. WikiProjects can also have associated Portals.

Some projects, like the Tip of the day project, coordinate internal Wikipedia processes rather than article content directly (though not all of these use the term "WikiProject").

Cape Barren goose
The Cape Barren goose (Cereopsis novaehollandiae) is a species of goose endemic to southern Australia. It was first formally described by English ornithologist John Latham in 1801. Adult Cape Barren geese are large birds, typically measuring 75 to 100 centimetres (30 to 39 inches) long and weighing between 3.7 to 5.2 kilograms (8.2 to 11.5 pounds), with males generally being larger than females. The plumage is mostly pale grey with a slight brown tint. The head is somewhat small in proportion to the body and mostly grey in colour, save for a pale whitish patch on the forehead and crown. Cape Barren geese are largely terrestrial, only occasionally swimming. They predominantly graze on grasses, sedges, legumes, herbs, and succulents. This Cape Barren goose was photographed near Karatta, on Kangaroo Island in South Australia.Photograph credit: Charles J. Sharp
