T. gilmorei |
Tylocephale ("swollen head", from the Greek τυλη meaning 'callus' or 'hard swelling' and κεφαλη meaning 'head') was a pachycephalosaurian dinosaur from the Late Cretaceous Period. It was a herbivore. It is estimated to have been about 1.4 metres in length and it had the highest dome of any known pachycephalosaur.
It was discovered in the Khulsan region of Mongolia. The type species is T. gilmorei, described by Maryanska and Osmolska, in 1974.
