E345 - Episode 230 - Pachycephalosaurs

The dome-headed dinosaurs are some of the most iconic ancient reptiles, but they’re surprisingly unexplored compared to other dinos. This episode, we explore what makes these dinosaurs unique, what limits our understanding of them, and the many confounding mysteries that paleontologists have been scratching their heads over, including the question of what exactly they were doing with those thick heads.

In the news: the I Know Dino children’s book, giant reptile locomotion, and dinosaur hooves.
