A newly-discovered dinosaur has been officially named the "Mojoceratops". Apparently, beer was involved.

The discoverer of the new species is post-doctoral researcher Nicholas Longrich of Yale uni in the States, who found skulls and other evidence of the previously unrecognised species among museum collections.

According to a Yale statement announcing acceptance of the new dino's name:

Over a few beers with fellow paleontologists one night, he blurted out the first thing that came to mind: Mojoceratops.

"It was just a joke, but then everyone stopped and looked at each other and said, 'Wait — that actually sounds cool,' " says Longrich. "I tried to come up with serious names after that, but Mojoceratops just sort of stuck."

What I particularly like is the translation in the comments section: Dick-horn-face and proud of it.
