A dog-sized dinosaur may have roamed what is now Big Bend, Texas, some 70 million to 80 million years ago, ramming other paleo-beasts with a bony lump on its head.

Paleontologists discovered two specimens of the skull top, called a dome, from the dinosaur, in a horned dinosaur bone bed.The new species is about one of a dozen with a bony lump on its skull top, which the researchers suggest likely was used to butt heads in a manner similar to modern-day musk oxen and cape buffalo.
