It was found in the Red Beds of the Nanxiong Formation, right at the Cretaceous Paleogene boundary. It had a tall, crested skull like other members of its family, and it had vertical striations along its crest, sort of like stripes. It had a very long nasal opening, as well. It was small and lightly built, and the only known specimen was of a juvenile estimated to be about 65 cm long.
