Colepiocephale
Colepiocephale was a small dome-headed dinosaur that lived in what is now Canada. It had a thick, bony dome on its skull that looked like a knuckle, and it used its head for head-butting fights with other dinosaurs.1

Dintlha tse monate
Colepiocephale means 'knucklehead' because its dome looked like a curled-up knuckle.1
It was one of the oldest dome-headed dinosaurs in North America, living about 80 million years ago.1
The first fossil was a partial skull found in 1923 by E.J. Whitaker along the South Saskatchewan River.1
Scientists once thought it was a species of Stegoceras, but later gave it its own name in 2003.1
All the fossils found in the Foremost Formation belong to Colepiocephale, meaning it was the only dome-headed dinosaur there at that time.1
Its dome was made of solid bone, and it may have used it to ram rivals or show off to mates.1

?When did Colepiocephale live?
It lived during the Late Cretaceous period, about 80 to 78 million years ago.1

- The first fossil, a partial skull, was collected in 1923 by E.J. Whitaker in Alberta, Canada. It was named Stegoceras lambei in 1945 by Charles Mortram Sternberg, and later renamed Colepiocephale by Robert M. Sullivan in 2003.1

- Scientists are still debating whether some fossils from the Judith River Formation in Montana belong to Colepiocephale or to another dome-headed dinosaur.1
