Etymology Visage cerise, du Latin ''cerasinus'' (cerise) et ''ops'' (tête ou visage), une allusion à la couleur rouge des roches ayant livrées le spécimen, une allusion également aux os eux-mêmes puisque certains d’entre eux présentent une teinte rouge foncé, l’os original ayant été remplacé par du Jaspe.

Cerasinops was a small ceratopsian dinosaur. It lived during the Campanian of the late Cretaceous Period. Its fossils have been found in Two Medicine Formation, in Montana. The type species of the genus Cerasinops is C. hodgskissi.
