Northwest United States.Avaceratops belonged to the family Ceratopsidae within the Ceratopsia, a group of herbivorous dinosaurs with parrot-like beaks which thrived in what are now North America and Asia, during the Cretaceous Period. Apart from being a ceratopsian, little is known about this genus. It may be somehow ancestral to Triceratops or occupy a position between the two subfamilies Centrosaurinae and Ceratopsinae.
