Graciliceratops (meaning "slender horn") is a genus of neoceratopsian dinosaurs that lived in Asia during the Late Cretaceous period.
The holotype, ZPAL MgD-I/156, was discovered at the Bayan Shireh Formation in Mongolia, coming from the Sheeregeen Gashoon locality near Sainshand.
[1] However, Paul Sereno noted that the referral for this specimen was injustified and overall, the genus lacked diagnosis, therefore, Microceratops (now named Microceratus[2]) was considered a nomen dubium.
[3] Although very damaged, the skull measures approximately 20 cm (200 mm), the arches and centra of the sacral vertebrae are not fused, which indicates that this specimen was not fully grown when it died, probably a juvenile individual.
The femur measures 9.5 cm (95 mm), it is lightly curved and has a large head; the fourth trochanter is fragile and place above the midlength of the femoral end.
[9][10] It lived alongside other dinosaurs from the upper part, most notably the large dromaeosaurid Achillobator, the tyrannosauroid Alectrosaurus, therizinosaurs Erlikosaurus, ‘’Enigmosaurus’’, and Segnosaurus, the pachycephalosaur Amtocephale, the ornithomimid ‘’Garudimimus’’, the ankylosaurs Talarurus, ‘’Amtosaurus’’, ‘’Maleevus’’, and Tsagantegia, the large sauropod Erketu and the basal hadrosauroid Gobihadros.
