Pachycephalosaurus
"Thick-Headed Lizard"
ANATOMY
Pachycephalosaurus was a dome-headed dinosaur. Its huge head housed
an incredibly
thick skull, a tiny brain, and large eyes. Its rounded skull was
up to10 inches thick (25cm).
Pachycephalosaurus grew to be about 15 feet long (4.6 m) and may
have weighed
roughly 950 pounds (430 kg). Pachycephalosaurus probably
had a good sense of
smell. It had bumpy knobs on its
snout and along the rear of its skull. This plant-eater
had short forelimbs and a stiff tail (which had a distinctive mesh
of interwoven
tendons surrounding its rear portion).
