The 1998 4-episode television special Dinosaurs: Inside and Out extensively discussed Sue, mentioning the now-disproven theory that it was killed by a bite to the back of the head by another T. rex. [citation needed] Sue was the subject of a 2000 educational computer game called I See SUE, which was published by Simon and Schuster Interactive. [57]
Phylogenetic analyses by many authors have found Pachycephalosauria to be a group with Stegoceras as one of the earliest fully-domed members, with flat-headed and potentially juvenile taxa like Homalocephale and Goyocephale either just outside or just within the clade of it and more derived pachycephalosaurs.

The remains of a brow horn suggested that the fossil was a large Triceratops, [3] one of the most common dinosaurs found in the Hell Creek Formation. [4] The remains were scattered over an area of 100 square metres. [5] The fossil's excavation was completed by August 2015. [6] The skeleton is over 60% complete, with a skull that is 75% complete ...
Like all sauropods, Nigersaurus was a quadruped with a small head, thick hind legs, and a prominent tail. Among that clade, Nigersaurus was fairly small, with a body length of only 9 m (30 ft) and a femur reaching only 1 m (3 ft 3 in); it may have weighed around 1.9–4 t (2.1–4.4 short tons), comparable to a modern elephant.
The smallest dinosaur ever found – a bird-like creature weighing less than a tenth of an ounce – has been discovered inside a drop of amber, where it was preserved for 99 million years.
Triceratops (/ t r aɪ ˈ s ɛr ə t ɒ p s / try-SERR-ə-tops; [1] lit. ' three-horned face ') is a genus of chasmosaurine ceratopsian dinosaur that lived during the late Maastrichtian age of the Late Cretaceous period, about 68 to 66 million years ago in what is now western North America.
