Both of the dinosaurs were herbivorous, with one of them belonging to a more primitive ceratosaurus while the other a stegosaurus.

The ceratosaurus' fossil, measuring about 1 meter in length, was discovered from the early Cretaceous strata. Its bones were nearly intact, revealing it to be bipedal with a little headdress structure. It fills a gap in the evolutionary history and development of the ceratosaurus, according to Zhang Fucheng, a member of the state expert committee on paleontology and fossils.
