Scientists solve the mystery of Europe's missing dinosaurs. Spoiler alert! They were never actually missing

Ceratopsians were horned, beaked dinosaurs that once stomped their way all over North America and Asia during the Late Cretaceous period, about 80 million years ago. Their abundance in the fossil records of these continents, which were connected by land bridges and island chains near Europe (an island archipelago at the time), suggests they should also have roamed the European continent.
