  "summary": "Omnisaura summary: Diabloceratops, Kirkland and Deblieux 2010\n\n- Named by: Kirkland and Deblieux 2010 (high confidence: PBDB and Wikidata agree).\n- Family: Ceratopsidae (medium confidence: only PBDB gives this; nothing contradicts it).\n- Parent group: Centrosaurinae (medium confidence: only PBDB gives this; nothing contradicts it).\n- Age, as published by the Paleobiology Database: Campanian, 83.6–72.2 million years ago (medium confidence: only PBDB gives this; nothing contradicts it).\n- Age, Omnisaura's own calculation (not a published figure): 83.6–72.2 million years ago (low confidence: Omnisaura's calculation from only 1 dated record(s)).\n- Fossils found in: United States (low: only one PBDB record).\n- Rock formations: Wahweap (low: only one PBDB record).\n- Original description: J. I. Kirkland, D. D. Deblieux (2010). New basal centrosaurine ceratopsian skulls from the Wahweap Formation (middle Campanian), Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument, southern Utah. New Perspectives on Horned Dinosaurs: The Royal Tyrrell Museum Ceratopsian Symposium. Indiana University Press, Bloomington: 117–140. (high confidence: PBDB gives this publication for the name; its author and year match the naming authority (Kirkland and Deblieux 2010), on which PBDB and Wikidata agree).\n- Diet, inferred by PBDB for the group: herbivore (medium confidence: only PBDB gives this, and it infers it for the whole of Ceratopsia, the group this genus belongs to, not from this genus's own fossils).\n- Way of life, inferred by PBDB for the group: ground dwelling (low confidence: PBDB infers this way of life for the whole of Ceratopsia; behaviour is rarely known for one genus).\n\nNot known or disputed:\n- Type species: no source Omnisaura uses gives this.\n- Order: no source Omnisaura uses gives this.\n- Common names: no source Omnisaura uses gives this.\n- Named after: no source Omnisaura uses gives this.\n- 1 record(s) left out: pBDB fossil records identified only tentatively (for example 'cf.', '?', or the genus name in quotation marks, PBDB's mark for a loose use).\n\nNot covered by Omnisaura: size, weight, appearance, or behaviour beyond the way of life PBDB infers for the group. Do not fill these in from general knowledge as if they came from Omnisaura.\n\nCredits (must be shown with any of this): Paleobiology Database (CC-BY-4.0); Wikidata (CC0-1.0)."
