Edmontonia
Click here for more Edmontonia Pictures
Edmontonia was an armored herbivore (plant-eater)
from North America
(its fossils
have been found in the Horseshoe Canyon Formation near
Edmonton,
Canada,
and in the Aguja formation in
Texas).
It lived during the late
Cretaceous period,
between about 76 and 74 million years ago.
Edmontonia was about 22 feet (6.7 meters) long, and stood about
6 feet (1.8 meters) tall at the shoulder.
Its body was protected by bony armor. The armor consisted of
ridged plates covering its back and tail, as well as numerous
spikes. Each shoulder held four particularly large spikes,
and in some species of Edmontonia, two of these split into
smaller sub-spikes.

Edmontonia Facts
Here is a summary of some of the key facts about Edmontonia:
- Edmontonia was a genus of dinosaur.
- "Edmontonia" is named after the Edmonton in Alberta, Canada, as it was first found in this region in the Horseshoe Canyon Formation.
- Edmontonia was a member of the Ornithischia ("bird-hipped") order of dinosaurs. What this means, is that although Edmontonia was not closely related to birds, it did have similarly shaped pelvic bones.
- Edmontonia lived between about 76 million years ago and 74 million years ago, during the late Cretaceous period.
- Edmontonia lived in North America.
- Edmontonia was a herbivore (plant-eater).
- Edmontonia was about 22 feet (6.7 meters) long, and about 6 feet (1.8 meters) high.
- Edmontonia was protected by bony armor consisting of ridged plates covering its back and head, and many sharp spikes on its back and tail. The latter included four large spikes on each shoulder, and in some species, two of these spikes split into smaller sub-spikes.

Anatómicament, Sauropelta es uno de los nodosáuridos mejor entendidos, con restos fosilizados recuperados en los estados de Montana, Wyoming en la Formación Cloverly y posiblemente en la Formación Montaña Cedar en Utah. Su cuerpo estaba provisto de una coraza dura reforzada por enormes espinas que facilitaban su defensa ante los ataques de sus depredadores, su único punto debil era su descubierto abdomen, así pues su táctica defensiva consistía en dejarse caer y clavar sus patas en el suelo para que no lo pudieran voltear. Era un nodosáurido de tamaño mediano, midiendo cerca de 5 metros de largo. Sauropelta tenía una distintiva cola larga que ocupo la mitad de su long... |

This lavishly illustrated volume is the first authoritative dinosaur book in the style of a field guide. World-renowned dinosaur illustrator and researcher Gregory Paul provides comprehensive visual and textual coverage of the great Mesozoic animals that gave rise to the living dinosaurs, the birds. Incorporating the new discoveries and research that are radically transforming what we know about dinosaurs, this book is distinguished both by its scientific accuracy and the quality and quantity of its illustrations. It presents thorough descriptions of more than 735 dinosaur species and features more than 600 color and black-and-white images, including unique skeletal drawings, "life" studies, and scenic views--illustrations that depict the full range of dinosaurs, from small, feathered creatures to whale-sized supersauropods. Heavily illustrated species accounts of the major dinosaur groups are preceded by an extensive introduction that covers dinosaur history and biology, the extinction of nonavian dinosaurs, the origin of birds, and the history of dinosaur paleontology--and that also gives a taste of what it might be like to travel back to the time of the dinosaurs.

Armored dinosaurs were some of the earliest dinosaurs named, including the ankylosaur Hylaeosaurus in 1833 and Stegosaurus in 1877. But these armored dinosaurs, or thyreophorans, have been the least studied group because they lack the visceral appeal of Tyrannosaurus and the fossil abundance of ceratopsians and hadrosaurs. The incredible diversity of armored dinosaurs has only recently been appreciated: the discovery of new stegosaurs in the Jurassic of China and the United States, and of new ankylosaurs from the Lower Cretaceous of North America have led to renewed interest in thyreophorans. The Armored Dinosaurs brings together the latest studies by an international group of dinosaur paleontologists and provides descriptions of the original specimens of Hyaleosaurus and Stegosaurus, names new thyreophorans, and redescribes historically important specimens from Europe.

In recent years dinosaurs have captured the attention of the public at an unprecedented level. At the heart of this resurgence in popular interest is an increased level of research activity, much of which is innovative in the field of paleontology. For instance, whereas earlier paleontological studies emphasized basic morphologic description and taxonomic classification, modern studies attempt to examine the role and nature of dinosaurs as living animals. More than ever before, we understand how these extinct species functioned, behaved, interacted with each other and the environment, and evolved. Nevertheless, these studies rely on certain basic building blocks of knowledge, including facts about dinosaur anatomy and taxonomic relationships. One of the purposes of this volume is to unravel some of the problems surrounding dinosaur systematics and to increase our understanding of dinosaurs as a biological species. Dinosaur Systematics presents a current overview of dinosaur systematics using various examples to explore what is a species in a dinosaur, what separates genders in dinosaurs, what morphological changes occur with maturation of a species, and what morphological variations occur within a species. |
