This is a large wonderful skull spike from the infamous American Dome Headed dinosaur Pachycephalosaurus from the equally infamous Hell Creek Formation in Montana, USA! These strange herbivores, nearly 15 feet long and one thousand pounds, roamed North America from 70 to 65 million years ago. They fed on soft leaves, seeds, and fruit, slicing them up with their (surprisingly) small leaf-shaped serrated teeth. Their most striking feature being the large dome on their skull, up to 9 inches thick! The exact purpose of this dome has been debated for decades.

The most striking feature is the mottled texture and a deep groove indicating the piece was bitten, swallowed, and digested by
