Prettige feite

1

Mymoorapelta is one of the earliest known nodosaurids, a group of armoured dinosaurs without a tail club.1

2

Its name honors Peter and Marilyn Mygatt and John D. and Vanetta Moore, who discovered the quarry where its fossils were found.2

3

The most complete specimen includes a partial skull, vertebrae, ribs, and many pieces of armour.1

4

Mymoorapelta had five different types of armour, from sharp spines to a large shield made of tiny bony plates over its hips.1

5

It was a small dinosaur, only about 3 metres (9.8 feet) long, making it one of the smallest armoured dinosaurs from the Jurassic.1

6

Fossils of the predator Allosaurus have been found with bite marks on Mymoorapelta bones, showing that Allosaurus hunted it.1

7

Mymoorapelta lived alongside giant sauropods like Apatosaurus and Camarasaurus, but it ate low plants while they ate high leaves.1
