Ebyewuunyisa

Amtocephale may be the oldest known pachycephalosaurid dinosaur, living about 100 to 84 million years ago.2

Its name means 'Amtgai head' because the first fossil was found at a place called Amtgai in Mongolia.1

Only one nearly complete skull bone, called a frontoparietal dome, has been found so far.2

The dome of Amtocephale had deep pits on top, which helped attach strong neck muscles.2

Unlike some later dome-headed dinosaurs, Amtocephale did not have holes (supratemporal fenestrae) in the top of its skull.2

Ekifaananyi kya Amtocephale ekyakolebwa AI, nga kiraga engeri gye yayinza okuba ng'afaanana, ekyakolebwa kompyuta okusinziira ku ebyo bannassaayansi bye bamanyi. Kuteebereza: ekisolo ekyennyini kiyinza okuba nga kyali kifaanana bulala, era tewali amanyi langi zaakyo ez'amazima.

Kikyakubaganyizibwako ebirowoozo: Scientists are not sure whether Amtocephale is the oldest pachycephalosaurid or just one of the earliest, because its skull features look like those of later, more advanced species.2
