Tylocephale
- ... that Tylocephale possibly used their domed skulls to fight one another? Source: Snively, E., & Cox, A. (2008). Structural mechanics of pachycephalosaur crania permitted head-butting behavior. Palaeontologia Electronica, 11(1), 3A. Chicago
Improved to Good Article status by Augustios Paleo (talk). Self-nominated at 17:25, 21 July 2023 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/Tylocephale; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.
- Recently passed GAN and very exhaustive. Sources check in progress, consider archiving the sources. What's "sayr", I haven't checked if this question was raised earlier but if it's not a typo it would be helpful to define or link the term. More later.el.ziade (talkallam) 18:33, 23 July 2023 (UTC)

QPQ: 
- N/A
Overall: 
* Overall very compelling read, very well referenced, no copyvios detected.
- QPQ not required.
- I leave it to the curators to decide if it is okay to include in the hook the adverb "possibly" and advance a proposition that is potentially true or valid nut not necessarily certain: " possibly used their domed skulls to fight one another".
- Repetition: " The jugals are the widest point of the skull and triangular in cross-section." and "Tylocephale’s jugals have giant, protruding, and irregularly spaced tubers, which were the widest point of the skull."
- Please address the "sayr" question above, I have no other comment. Thank you for the great work. el.ziade (talkallam) 21:58, 25 July 2023 (UTC)
- Nominator addressed concerns. Personally I would have preferred an established fact for a hook. el.ziade (talkallam) 13:32, 27 July 2023 (UTC)
- This is the most likely purpose and there is evidence for this behaviour in other pachycephalosaurs.
- N/A
