Micropachycephalosaurus hongtuyanensis Dong, 1978 |
Micropachycephalosaurus (meaning "Tiny Thick Headed Reptile") had the longest name of any dinosaur ever named. But, ironically, it was also one of the smallest dinosaurs ever, at only 2 feet long. It was a pachycephalosaur, with a domed head and straight tail. It lived in China during the Late Cretaceous.
