Pachycephalosaurus was a genus of dinosaur within the family Pachycephalosauridae. So far, there is only one known species, Pachycephalosaurus wyomingensis.
A good characteristic of the species is the skull which consisted of thick bone. They were about 1.5-2.5 meters tall and walked upright on their hind legs.
Description
History:
Pachycephalosaurus was formally discovered and named in 1931, though some fossil material may have been found much earlier. It is known only from skulls, and its body design is based on more completely known relatives including Stegoceras. It is believed that two similar pachycephalosaurs – Dracorex and Stygimoloch – may actually represent different growth stages of Pachycephalosaurus. This theory suggests that as the dinosaur grew, the spikes on its head became more blunt, and the dome on top of its skull became more pronounced.
