Dintlha tse monate
Its full scientific name has 37 letters, making it the longest dinosaur name of all.2
It was only about 1 metre long, smaller than many modern dogs.2
It walked on two legs, like many other small herbivorous dinosaurs.2
The first fossil was found on a cliff near a train station called Hongtuyan.2
It lived alongside other dinosaurs like the armoured Pinacosaurus and the duck-billed Tanius.2
Scientists are not sure if it was a pachycephalosaur or a ceratopsian, because its skull roof was missing from the fossil.2

Nnete: The fossil that would show this is missing, so scientists cannot confirm it had a dome.2
