Naam beteken: “unconquerable fortress”1

Het geëet: PlanteGepantserde dino'sLaat Kryt

Invictarx was a slow, four-legged dinosaur covered in bony armour like a tank. It lived in what is now New Mexico, USA, about 78 million years ago. Its name means 'unconquerable fortress' because it was so well protected.1 2

Prettige feite

Invictarx is known from only three partial skeletons, including bony plates called osteoderms that covered its back.1 2

Its armour had a smooth surface with many tiny pits, unlike the rough, grooved armour of some other nodosaurs.2

Some of its shoulder and back plates had a low, rounded ridge with a deep groove running along the top.2

Invictarx probably had a fused shield of polygonal (many-sided) bones over its hips, like a built-in suit of armour.2

It lived alongside other dinosaurs in a coastal plain environment, about 78.5 million years ago.1 2

The first Invictarx fossil was found in May 2011 by Daniel Williamson, and two more skeletons were discovered later.1

Mees gevraagde vrae oor Invictarx

?How big was Invictarx?

Scientists do not know its exact size because only partial skeletons have been found, but it was a medium-sized nodosaurid, probably similar to other armored dinosaurs like Sauropelta.1 2

?What did Invictarx eat?

Invictarx was a plant-eating dinosaur. It likely ate ferns, cycads, and other low-growing plants that grew in its coastal plain environment.1 4

?When did Invictarx live?

Invictarx lived about 78.5 million years ago, during the Late Cretaceous Period.1 5

?Was Invictarx a dinosaur?

Yes, Invictarx was a dinosaur. It was a nodosaurid ankylosaur, a type of armored, plant-eating dinosaur.1 2
