Goyocephale

Naam beteken: “decorated head”1

Goyocephale was a small, plant-eating dinosaur with a flat, bumpy skull. It lived in what is now Mongolia during the Late Cretaceous period, about 76 million years ago. This dinosaur was a primitive cousin of the dome-headed pachycephalosaurs.1 4

Prettige feite

Goyocephale had a flat skull roof, unlike the domed heads of later pachycephalosaurs like Pachycephalosaurus.1

Its name comes from the Mongolian word 'goyo' meaning 'decorated' and the Greek 'kephale' for 'head', referring to the bumpy ornamentation on its skull.1

Goyocephale had sharp, fang-like teeth at the front of its upper jaw, followed by a gap and then smaller cheek teeth.1

The back edge of its skull roof had many small bony bumps that would have been the base of little horns in life.1

Goyocephale is known from a single partial skeleton that includes most of the skull, parts of the forelimb and hindlimb, and some vertebrae.1

Scientists think Goyocephale was more primitive than its close relative Homalocephale because it had a shorter sacrum (hip bone) and larger skull openings.2

Mees gevraagde vrae oor Goyocephale

?How big was Goyocephale?

Goyocephale was a small dinosaur, about 60 to 150 centimetres (2 to 5 feet) long from head to tail.2

?What did Goyocephale eat?

Goyocephale was a plant-eater (herbivore). It had sharp, fang-like teeth at the front of its mouth and smaller cheek teeth for chewing plants.1 3

?When did Goyocephale live?

Goyocephale lived during the Late Cretaceous period, about 76 million years ago.1 3

?Where was Goyocephale found?

Goyocephale was discovered in the Gobi Desert of Mongolia, at a place called Boro Khovil.1 2

Mite-breker

Mite: All pachycephalosaurs had thick, domed skulls for head-butting.

Waarheid: Goyocephale had a flat skull roof, not a dome. It belonged to a group of flat-headed pachycephalosaurs called Homalocephalidae.1

Vir dino-kenners

Wetenskaplike naam: Goyocephale
Benoem deur: Perle et al. 19824
Groep: Koepelkoppe
Familie / klade: Pachycephalosauria4
Klassifikasie: Ornithischia > Pachycephalosauria4
Ouderdom van die rotse: 86 tot 66 miljoen jaar (Santonian / Maastrichtian)4
Lande: Mongolië4
Fossielrekords: 1 in The Paleobiology Database4
Ontdekking: Goyocephale was named in 1982 by Altangerel Perle, Teresa Maryańska, and Halszka Osmólska based on a skeleton found at Boro Khovil in the Gobi Desert of Mongolia. The species name honors American scholar Owen Lattimore.1 2
Steeds omstrede: Scientists are not sure exactly how old the rocks at Boro Khovil are, so the precise age of Goyocephale is still debated.2
