Micropachycephalosaurus was a genus of ornithischian dinosaur from the Late Cretaceous, between 70 and 68.5 million years ago. The name had nine syllables, and when you break it down into its constituent Greek roots: micro, pachy, cephalo, and saurus it translates as "small thick-headed lizard".
One of the smallest dinosaurs discovered, just over a meter long, but with the longest name. It was an ornithischian plant-eating dinosaur. However, it lacks a skull roof, which means it cannot be placed at family level. So far, they could not confirm the existence of a thickened skull. Therefore, it may or may not be a pachycephalosaur. In 2011, it was considered a basal member of Ceratopsia.
The pachycephalosaur relied on speed and agility to try to evade predators such as dromaeosaurid and troodontid dinosaurs. Its estimated size was 1 m in length, 1.8 m in height, and it weighed 2.3 - 4.5 kg.
