Euoplocephalus
Click here for more Euoplocephalus Pictures
Euoplocephalus was a herbivore (plant-eater) that lived in North America
during the late Cretaceous period,
about 70 to 65 million years ago.
It was one of the
dinosaurs that died out in the Cretaceous-Tertiary
extinction
65 million years ago.
Euoplocephalus was about 20 feet (6 meters) long and probably weighed about 2 tons.
Euoplocephalus was protected from carnivores by its armor which included oval
plates embedded its skin, spikes, horns and a club-like tail. It even had
armored shutters which could slide down to cover its eyelids.
Appropriately enough, its name, Euoplocephalus,
means "well-armored head",
although it is also sometimes known as "Scolosaurus"
(which means "spiny lizard").
Euoplocephalus was discovered by Lawrence Lambe in
1902,
who proposed the name "Stereocephalus". However as this name "Stereocephalus"
was already being used for an insect, the name of the dinosaur was changed to
Euoplocephalus in
1910.
Fossils
from around 40 different individuals have been discovered to date,
including 15 skulls and one nearly complete skeleton.
Two species of Euoplocephalus are now known:
the original species is now known as Euoplocephalus tutus,
and a second species which was discovered in
1924
by William Arthur Parks, is now known as Euoplocephalus acutosquameus
(the latter was once known as Dyoplosaurus).
The species have different shaped clubs in their tails, but despite this,
some scientists believe they are in fact a single species.
Additionally, some other
Ankylosaurids were once
classified as being a
Euoplocephalus species, but are now
classified seperately.
Euoplocephalus (Scolosaurus) was a herbivore (plant-eater) that lived from 70 to 65 million years ago

Euoplocephalus Facts
Here is a summary of some of the key facts about Euoplocephalus:
- Euoplocephalus was a genus of dinosaur.
- Although "Euoplocephalus" is the correct scientific name of this genus of dinosaur, the name "Scolosaurus" is also sometimes used. "Euoplocephalus" has been the correct name since 1910. The animal's name was changed, because the first chosen name, "Stereocephalus", had already been used to name a particular type of insect. The name "Scolosaurus" is not the correct name, as it was given to fossils which were not initially realized to be from the Euoplocephalus genus.
- "Euoplocephalus" means "well-armored head". This name was chosen by Lawrence Lambe in 1910.
- Euoplocephalus was a member of the Ornithischia ("bird-hipped") order of dinosaurs. What this means, is that although Euoplocephalus was not closely related to birds, it did have similarly shaped pelvic bones.
- Euoplocephalus lived between about 70 million years ago and 65 million years ago, during the late Cretaceous period.
- Euoplocephalus was one of the dinosaurs which died out during the Cretaceous-Tertiary mass extinction at the end of the Mesozoic Era.
- Euoplocephalus lived in North America.
- Euoplocephalus was a herbivore (plant-eater).
- Euoplocephalus was about 20 feet (6 meters) long.
- Euoplocephalus weighed about 2 tons.

More info: Ankylosauria is a group of herbivorous dinosaurs of the order Ornithischia. It includes the great majority of dinosaurs with armor in the form of bony osteoderms. Ankylosaurs were bulky quadrupeds, with short, powerful limbs. They are first known to have appeared in the early Jurassic Period of China, and persisted until the end of the Cretaceous Period. They have been found on every continent except Africa. The first dinosaur ever discovered in Antarctica was the ankylosaurian Antarctopelta, fossils of which were recovered from Ross Island in 1986. |

A nagyjából autóbusz méretű Stegosaurus volt a Stegosauria alrendág legnagyobb tagja (mérete meghaladta a Kentrosaurusét és a Huayangosaurusét), amely számos, a többi stegosaurusnemre jellemző tulajdonsággal rendelkezett.

A Stegosaurus nagy, nehéz felépítésű, négy lábon járó növényevő volt, sajátos és különös testtartással, melynél a hát nagymértékben meghajlott a rövid mellső lábak miatt, a fej alacsonyan, a talaj közelében, a merev farok pedig a levegőben helyezkedett el. A lemezekkel és tüskékkel kapcsolatban számos elképzelés született. A legvalószínűbb, hogy a tüskéket védekezésre használta, míg a lemezek egyaránt szolgálhattak védekezésre és hőszabályzásra. A nagyjából autóbusz méretű Stegosaurus volt a Stegosauria alrendág legnagyobb tagja (mérete meghaladta a Kentrosaurusét és a Huayangosaurusét), amely számos, a többi stegosaurusnemre jellemző tulajdonsággal rendelkezett. A Stegosaurus és az ember méretének összehasonlításaAz átlagosan 9 méter hosszú és 4 méter magas, négy lábon járó Stegosaurus a hátán két sorban, függőlegese... |

Excerpt: It is of interest because it is one of the few sauropods known from skull material, with the first described complete skull for a Cretaceous sauropod from the Americas.It is also notable for its narrow teeth, as earlier brachiosaurids had broader teeth. Abydosaurus is based on DINO 16488, a nearly complete skull and lower jaws with the first four neck vertebrae. Abundant skull and postcranial bones were found at the same site, including partial skulls from three additional individuals, a partial hip and associated tail vertebrae, a shoulder blade, an upper arm bone, and hand bones. These fossils were found in a sandstone bed at the base of the Mussentuchit Member of the Cedar Mountain Formation, near the old visitor center of Dinosaur National Monument. Zircons in the sandstone and underlying mudstone indicate an age of 104.46 ± 0.95 million years, in the Albian stage of the Early Cretaceous. Although Abydosaurus lived some 45 million years after Giraffatitan,the skulls of these two genera are similar except for the narrower, sharper teeth and smaller nose of Abydosaurus. Abydosaurus can be differentiated from all other sauropods, including Giraffatitan, by subtle features of the nasal and maxillary bones, its relatively small exter... |

Click Here | Product Description:
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.
The contributors are Paul M. Barrett, John Bird, William T. Blows, Don Burge, Kenneth Carpenter, H. Trevor Clifford, Karen Cloward, Margery C. Coombs, Rodolfo A. Corio, Philip J. Currie, Tracy L. Ford, Peter M. Galton, Robert W. Gaston, James I. Kirkland, Martin G. Lockley, Richard T. McCrea, Lorrie A. McWhinney, Christian A. Meyer, Clifford A. Miles, Ralph E. Molnar, David B. Norman, Paul Penkalski, Xabier Pereda Suberbiola, Bruce M. Rothschild, A. P. Russell, N. Rybczynski, Leonardo Salgado, Jennifer Schellenbach, and M. K. Vickaryous. |

Product Description:
The bestselling, award-winning team of Yolen and Teague are back with another playful dinosaur tale--this time about a sick dinosaur child who catches the flu and must go to the doctor.
What if a dinosaur catches the flu?
Does he whimper and whine between each "At-choo"?
Does he drop dirty tissues all over the floor?
Does he fling his medicine out of the door?
Just like kids, little dinosaurs hate being sick. And going to the doctor can be pretty scary. How DO dinosaurs get well soon? They drink lots of juice, and they get lots of rest; they're good at the doctor's, 'cause doctors know best.
As in their previous book, Yolen and Teague capture children's fears about being sick and put them to rest with playful read-aloud verse and wonderfully amusing pictures. |
