Prettige feite
Ferganocephale is known only from teeth. No other bones have been found yet.1
Its name means 'Fergana head' because it was found in the Fergana Valley in Kyrgyzstan.1
Some scientists think Ferganocephale might be a pachycephalosaur, a group of dome-headed dinosaurs. But others are not sure because the teeth are too incomplete.1
The teeth of Ferganocephale have no serrations along the edges. This is unusual for an ornithischian dinosaur.2

Mite-breker
Mite: Some people think Ferganocephale was definitely a dome-headed dinosaur (pachycephalosaur).
Waarheid: Scientists now disagree. Many think the teeth are too few and worn to be sure it was a pachycephalosaur. It might be a different kind of ornithischian.1

- Ferganocephale was named in 2005 by Alexander Averianov, Thomas Martin, and A. A. Bakirov. They described it from teeth found in the Balabansai Svita rock formation in Kyrgyzstan.13
- Steeds omstrede
- Scientists still debate whether Ferganocephale was a pachycephalosaur or another kind of ornithischian dinosaur. The only fossils are a few teeth, so its true classification is uncertain.1
