Homalocephale, a fairly small
dinosaur, was discovered in 1969 in
Mongolia. This was the only member of
this bone-headed family that had been
found with a body and skull until a 1996
discovery of an almost complete
pacycephalosaur.
This dinosaur is another example of
families of dinosaurs spreading between
North America and Asia that evolved as they
migrated. The design of this dinosaur's
mouth seems to indicate it was a
plant-eater. |
