Cool that they are still able to find new species of dinosaur,,,,,
This video from the USA is called Scientists Discover New Dino, Name It Nasutoceratops titusi.
From Proceedings of the Royal Society B:
A remarkable short-snouted horned dinosaur from the Late Cretaceous (late Campanian) of southern Laramidia

The fossil record of centrosaurine ceratopsids is largely restricted to the northern region of western North America (Alberta, Montana and Alaska). Exceptions consist of single taxa from Utah (Diabloceratops) and China (Sinoceratops), plus otherwise fragmentary remains from the southern Western Interior of North America.
