So far, Druckenmiller and his team have dug up species from seven different dino families: from big duck-billed dinos, ceretopsians, and tyrannosaurs to smaller thescelosaurs, leptoceratops, dromaeosaurs, and troodontids.
It's possible that the speedier juveniles hunted small herbivores, like the roughly 2-meter Leptoceratops or the 4.5-meter Pachycephalosaurus--while bite marks on fossils tell us the adults ate big game, such as Triceratops.
Leptoceratops (meaning 'little-horned face' and derived from Greek 'lepto-/λεπτο-' meaning 'small', 'insignificant', 'slender', 'meagre' or 'lean', 'kerat-/κερατ-' meaning 'horn' and '-ops/ωψ' meaning face), is a genus of primitive ceratopsian dinosaurs from the late Cretaceous Period (late Maastrichtian age, 66.8-66 Ma ago) of what is now Western North America. Their skulls have been found in Alberta, Canada and in Wyoming.
