Comment
Pachycephalosaurus was a herbivore (plant-eating) dinosaur that lived during the late Cretaceous period, about 76 to 65 million years ago, in North America. It was one of the dinosaurs that died out in the Cretaceous-Tertiary extinction, 65 million years ago.
The name Pachycephalosaurus means "thick-headed lizard", and describes the creature's most noteworthy feature: the huge 10 inch (25 centimeter) thick bone dome on its head. At the rear of the dome were a number of bony knobs, and the animal's snout also possessed several short bony spikes. This has led most scientists to conclude that the animal was probably related to the Ceratopsians (which include Protoceratops, Psittacosaurus, Styracosaurus and Triceratops), although unlike most Ceratopsians, Pachycephalosaurus is believed to have been bipedal.
