Pinacosaurus
Click here for more Pinacosaurus Pictures
Pinacosaurus was an armored herbivore (plant-eater)
that lived in China
and Mongolia during the late
Cretaceous period,
between about 80 million and 75 million years ago.
Pinacosaurus was about 16 feet (5 meters) long.
Like other
Ankylosaurs,
it was covered with armor to protect it from predators. It also had a bony club at the end of
its tail. Its chief distinguish feature are two egg-shaped holes in the skull where the nostrils are normally
found.
Many Pinacosaurus fossils have been
found together in bone beds, and it is thought that these animals must have lived and died
together. Scientists therefore believe that the Pinacosaurus must have lived in herds.

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... |

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.
