The skull of Pachycephalosaurus, or "thick-headed lizard," is a marvel of paleontology, offering fascinating details about the anatomy and behavior of these herbivorous dinosaurs from the Late Cretaceous period. This distinctive skull features a number of unique features that make it unmistakable.
With its thick, rounded bony dome on top of its skull, Pachycephalosaurus likely used its head as a combat tool during intraspecific confrontations or to defend itself from predators. The top of the skull may have been dense and robust, suggesting that these dinosaurs could have engaged in shock or display behavior.
In addition to its distinctive dome, the skull of Pachycephalosaurus displays a number of dental features that suggest a herbivorous diet, with teeth adapted to shredding fibrous vegetation. Paleontological studies have revealed intricate details of bone and dental structure, providing clues to the ecology and lifestyle of this fascinating prehistoric creature.
Incredible museum-quality replicas with a high degree of scientific rigor in which an exhaustive paleontological study has been used for their development to create this magnificent model.
