    The most prominent feature of Pachycephalosaurus is its helmet-like skull dome, surrounded by a crown of spikes, knobs, and horns that traveled all the way down to the snout. These bony domes could be 25 - 30 centimeters (10 - 12 inches) thick, safely cushioned to protect the animal's brain. The way pachycephalosaurs used their domes is still accepted as for Headbutting and defense.
