Wendiceratops is a genus of Centrosaurine ceratopsian. It was closely related to Albertaceratops, another centrosaurine from the same formation. Wendiceratops was found in the Oldman Formation with dinosaurs such as Daspletosaurus, Paronychodon, Troodon, Albertaceratops, and Parasaurolophus. Canadian fossil hunter Wendy Sloboba found the remains in the Pinhorn Provincial Grazing Reserve in Alberta. It was one ton and had a length of about 6 meters long(20 feet). It is the second ceratopsian discovered and named in 2015.
