From February, a couple Paleoart Valentine's Day cards I made for some of my coworkers, featuring Makhaira, Amargasaurus, Tylocephale, Anchiornis, and Jeholornis, in various physical media.

More detail in the individual image descriptions.

#Archovember Day 25 - Tylocephale gilmorei

The pachycephalosaurids are famous for their thick, armoured heads, but one dome rose above the rest. Living in Late Cretaceous Mongolia, Tylocephale gilmorei, while a medium-sized pachycephalosaur, had the tallest known dome head comparable to body size. This dome could sustain higher forces of impact than other pachycephalosaurids. Like other pachycephalosaurs it likely ate plants and insects, though it had serrations on its teeth that may have allowed it to eat tougher materials like seeds and nuts.

Tylocephale lived in an arid alluvial plain. It lived alongside a variety of other dinosaurs in the Barun Goyot Formation including ankylosaurs like Saichania, Tarchia, and Zaraapelta, protoceratopsids like Bagaceratops and Breviceratops, the titanosaur Quaesitosaurus, dromaeosaurs like Kuru and Shri, halszkaraptorines like Hulsanpes, oviraptorids like Conchoraptor, Heyuannia, and Nemegtomaia, alvarezsaurids like Khulsanurus and Parvicursor, and birds like Gobipipus, Gobipteryx, and Hollanda.

Described By: Maryańska & Osmólska

Tylocephale is a poorly known Pachycephalosaurid from the Khulsan region in Mongolia, dating back to the Campanian age of the Late Cretaceous, some time between 80 and 70 million years ago. It was small, about 1.4 meters long, with the tallest dome known in any Chunkie. It was very similar to Prenocephale.
