Scutellosaurus
Click here for more Scutellosaurus Pictures
Scutellosaurus was a small herbivore (plant-eating)
that lived in North America during the early
Jurassic period,
between about 200 and 196 million years ago.
It is one of the earliest known armored dinosaurs.
Scutellosaurus was about 4 feet (1.2 meters) long, and about 1 foot 8 inches (0.5 meters)
tall at the hips. It weighed something in the region of 22 pounds (10 kilograms).
Scutellosaurus had a covering of hundreds of bony plates (scutes) on its back
and neck. Some of the scutes were flat whereas others were pitted. Unusually for
an armored dinosaur, it was bipedal - however it had a long tail and long arms so
may have browsed on all fours.
