Oldest-known dome-headed dinosaur discovered sticking out of a cliff in Mongolia's Gobi Desert

Artist's reconstrution of the pachycephalosaur.

Paleontologists have uncovered the oldest and most complete dome-headed dinosaur fossils to date in Mongolia's Gobi Desert.

The fossils, which are between 108 million and 115 million years old, push back the timeline for the emergence of dome-head dinosaurs, or pachycephalosaurs, by about 15 million years. The new fossils could also reveal details about the evolution and development of these dinosaurs' bizarre rounded skulls.
