Introduction
Micropachycephalosaurus is a dinosaur with the longest name ever. The full name has 37 letters and means "small thick-headed lizard." It lived about 70-68 million years ago and was a small dinosaur, between 0.5 to 1 meter long.
Fossils and Classification
Only one fossil of Micropachycephalosaurus has been found. Originally thought to be a dome-headed pachycephalosaur, scientists now consider it may be a basic ceratopsian, or horned dinosaur, due to the missing skull. More fossils are needed to confirm its classification.
Significance of Name
Despite its long name, Micropachycephalosaurus was tiny in size. The name may be misleading if it is confirmed as a ceratopsian instead of a pachycephalosaur. There is still much unknown about this little dinosaur.
