Ontdekking
The first fossils were found near Beipiao, China, and were named Crichtonsaurus benxiensis in 2007. In 2014, Victoria Arbour decided it was a different genus and renamed it Crichtonpelta.1
Steeds omstrede
Scientists are not sure if Crichtonpelta had a tail club, because no complete tail has been found.1
