Chuanqilong
Chuanqilong was an armoured dinosaur that lived in what is now China. It had a triangular skull and its body was covered in bony plates and small knobs for protection. Scientists think it was a young animal, so a full-grown Chuanqilong might have been even bigger.12

Prettige feite
Chuanqilong is known from a nearly complete skeleton, missing only the tip of its tail.2
Unlike many later armoured dinosaurs, Chuanqilong did not have a club at the end of its tail.1
The fossil was found in the Jiufotang Formation, which is about 121 to 113 million years old.3
Chuanqilong was a medium-sized ankylosaur, measuring about 4.5 metres (14.8 feet) long as a juvenile.1
Its neck was protected by special bands of bony plates called cervical half rings.1
