Pachycephalosaurus
Pachycephalosaurus was one of the most unusual plant-eating dinosaurs of the Late Cretaceous. It is famous for its thick, rounded skull dome, which made it look very different from horned dinosaurs, duck-billed dinosaurs, or armored dinosaurs living at the same time. Although it is often shown charg...
Argentinosaurus
Argentinosaurus was a gigantic long-necked plant-eating dinosaur from the Late Cretaceous of South America. It is usually classified as a titanosaur, a group of sauropods that included some of the largest land animals ever to live. Although its fossil remains are incomplete, Argentinosaurus has beco...
Achelousaurus
Achelousaurus was a medium-sized horned dinosaur that lived in what is now Montana during the Late Cretaceous. It belonged to the centrosaurine branch of ceratopsians, a group known for deep skull frills, facial ornamentation, and beaked mouths adapted for plant-eating. Unlike some of its more famou...
Titanosaurus
