Avaceratops Danger Pack

Avaceratops is a small horned dinosaur from Montana, and one of the few dinosaurs named after a woman. Mattel added it to the first Danger Pack wave of Jurassic World Epic Evolution in 2024 as a dark grey figure with a bold white frill and white patches along the back. Here is what the figure looks like, the story behind the name, and how to unlock it in the Jurassic World Play App.

Name Tag: Who Was Ava?

Most dinosaurs are named for what they look like or where they were found. Avaceratops is named for a person.

Named in honour ofAva’s horned faceAvaceratops lammersi
Found: 1981Found by: Eddie and Ava ColeWhere: Judith River Formation, MontanaNamed by: Peter Dodson, 1986
Ava Cole helped her husband Eddie dig up the first skeleton in Montana in 1981. When Peter Dodson described the animal five years later, he named it after her. The species name honours the Lammers family, who owned the land.

So next time you pick up this figure, you are holding a dinosaur with a real person’s name on it.

What Is Danger Pack?

Danger Pack is the smaller, battery-free assortment of Mattel’s Epic Evolution line, the 2024 follow-up to Dino Trackers. The figures have movable joints and a DNA code that unlocks the animal in the Jurassic World Play App, but no sounds or motorised attacks.

Avaceratops came in the first Danger Pack wave of 2024, alongside Poposaurus, Plesiosaurus and the Eoraptor vs Stegouros two-pack.

About Avaceratops

Avaceratops was named in 1986 by Peter Dodson from a partial skeleton found in 1981 in the Judith River Formation of Montana, USA.

It lived in the Late Cretaceous, about 77 million years ago. The known skeleton belonged to a young animal about 2.3 m long, so adults were probably larger.

Avaceratops was a ceratopsid, part of the same family as Triceratops and Centrosaurus. Like them, it was a plant eater that sliced tough vegetation with a sharp beak and rows of shearing teeth.
