Prettige feite

1

Prenocephale had a row of small bony spikes and bumps on its dome.1

2

Its skull was rounded and sloping, unlike the flat head of its relative Homalocephale.1

3

Scientists think Prenocephale lived in high upland forests, not dry deserts.1

4

The first Prenocephale fossil was found by the Polish-Mongolian Paleontological Expedition in the Gobi Desert.1

5

Prenocephale was about 2.2 metres long and weighed around 40 kilograms, similar to a large dog.1

Ontdekking
Prenocephale was named in 1974 by Teresa Maryańska and Halszka Osmólska based on a well-preserved skull and some bones found in the Nemegt Formation of Mongolia.13
Steeds omstrede
Scientists debate whether some other pachycephalosaurs, like Homalocephale, are actually young Prenocephale.1
