Meet the oldest boneheaded dinosaur in North America, and possibly in the world. Acrotholus audeti was identified from two solid bone skull caps found in southern Alberta, Canada. The bony domes are 10 centimeters (4 inches) thick. The researchers who describe the new species this week in Nature Communications say their find hints at the possibility of more discoveries of small, plant-eating dinosaurs to come. Acrotholus is a fully domed pachycephalosaurid dinosaur known from the Late Cretaceous. It was about 4 feet long and 75 pounds. Acrotholus's distinguishing characteristics are: moderate size and an unusually thick skull. Sometime during the middle Cretaceous period, about 100 million years ago, a population of ornithopods--small, bipedal, plant-eating dinosaurs--evolved into the first pachycephalosaurs. The recently announced Acrotholus is the earliest bone-headed dinosaur to be discovered in North America, predating the previous record-holder by five million years, and it's one of the earliest pachycephalosaurs yet identified-- possibly only recently evolved from its ornithopod ancestors. Aside from its place at the base of the pachycephalosaur family tree, Acrotholus is also important because it points to a previously unappreciated diversity among small, herbivorous, Cretaceous dinosaurs. Even at this early date, bone-headed dinosaurs seem to have been widely diverse, albeit sharing one important characteristic: their unusually thick and rounded skulls, which presumably permitted males to butt heads at high speed for the right to mate with females.

I personally hadn't heard of it, so even though it didn't fit in this thread; Thanks for the info
But then again, its a bit old. Especially if the specimen was discovered in 2008.

Ok then guys... Sorry if this one doesn't fit in this thread LoL. But there's not much information about this dinosaur and I have read that it was found in 2013, so I thought it was new.
