The species Auroraceratops rugosus was originally described based upon a single skull. With the recovery of over 80 individuals, a complete description of the postcranial skeleton is presented. Auroraceratops is currently the most complete exemplar we have of ceratopsian postcranial anatomy between Psittacosaurus and Leptoceratops. Adult Auroraceratops had a length of approximately 125 cm and an approximate hip height of 44 cm. Osteological correlates of stance in the fore- and hind limb unequivocally indicate a bipedal gait. The phylogenetically corrected quadrupedal massestimation equation modified for mass estimation of bipedal terrestrial vertebrates estimates an average mass of Auroraceratops at 15.5 kg. It has the phylogenetically and temporally earliest documentation of the syncervical in Ceratopsia. The mid-caudal neural spines are elongate and erect, a feature previously only known in Leptoceratopsidae and Protoceratopsidae. Despite being longer than in most ceratopsians, the mid-caudal neural spines are not as tall as in some leptoceratopsids. Most of the phylogenetically relevant characters of the postcranial skeleton in Auroraceratops are a mosaic of features plesiomorphic to Neoceratopsia and features previously considered to be unique to later diverging clades, such as Leptoceratopsidae and Protoceratopsidae.
