One of the smallest known dinosaurs, micropachycephalosaurus weighed in at around 3.5kg and measured around 60cm in length.
It was originally thought of as being related to the pachycephalosaurus, hence it's name. This assessment was based on the presence of a thick skull. Further investigation found no such evidence, with micropachycephalosaurus now classified as a cerotopsian.
