Description
Stegoceras validum
Named by Lawrence Lambe, 1902
Diet: Herbivore (Low browser)
Type: Marginocephalian pachycephalosaur dinosaur
Size: 6.6 feet (2 meters) long and 22 lb.
Region: North America (Alberta Canada for this species)
Age: Late Cretaceous (77.5 to 75 million BC; Middle Campanian)
Enemies: Tyrannosaurids (Especially juveniles) Daspletosaurus and Gorgosaurus; smaller theropods such as Latenivenatrix, Dromaeosaurus, and Saurornitholestes; Palaeosaniwa, a venemous varanid lizard; crocodylimorphs such as Leidyosuchus
Episode: Walking with Dinosaurs: Inside Their World app (vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/wa… )
Info: One of the best-known of the dome-headed dinosaurs or pachycephalosaurs, Stegoceras or “roof horn” is known from dozens of skull fragments and a partial skeleton and had a round, thick, dome skull up to 3 to 4 inches thick that was thought to have been used as a battering ram. The muzzle is wide and the teeth set quite far apart, suggesting that Stegoceras had a different diet from other pachycephalosaurs.

Note: Body based on the Sphaerotholus from the final episode of Discovery Channel's Dinosaur Revolution and Dinotasia, while head based on the Stegoceras skull from the American Museum of Natural History in New York City.
