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.
