izinto ezimnandi

Iinyani ezimnandi

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

Umfanekiso owenziwe yi-AI: Amtocephale — Umfanekiso owenziwe yi-AI obonisa indlela Amtocephale esenokuba wayekhangeleka ngayo, wenziwe yikhompyutha ngokwento eyaziwa zizazinzulu. Kukuqikelela nje: esona silwanyana sinokuba sasikhangeleka ngenye indlela, kwaye akukho mntu waziyo imibala yaso yokwenyani.

Inikwe igama ngu:: Watabe et al. 20115
Iqela: Iintloko-ngqukuva
Usapho / iclade: Pachycephalosauridae5
Ukuhlelwa: Ornithischia > Pachycephalosauria5
Ubudala bamatye: 100 ukuya ku-84 izigidi zeminyaka (Cenomanian / Santonian)5
Izakhiwo zamatye: Baynshire5
Amazwe: iMongolia5
Iirekhodi zeefosili: 1 kwi-Paleobiology Database5
Ukufunyanwa: Amtocephale was named in 2011 by paleontologists Mahito Watabe, Khishigjav Tsogtbaatar, and Robert Sullivan based on a single fossil dome found in the Baynshire Formation of Mongolia.5
Kusaxoxwa ngayo: 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
