If I had a nickel for every paleontologist with a pachycephalosaur tattoo posing with a pachycephalosaur fossil, I’d have two nickels. Which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice. Here's Sally Hurst & I at the MIP posing with a HUGE and new specimen of Prenocephale we're working on.

Turns out - with great difficulty! @leverhulme.ac.uk
