Prettige feite

1

Scolosaurus had a tail club made of fused bones that it could swing to defend itself.1

2

The first fossil of Scolosaurus was found in 1914 by William Edmund Cutler, who was badly injured when the heavy skeleton fell on him.1

3

For many years, scientists thought Scolosaurus was the same as Euoplocephalus, but newer studies show it is a different genus.1

4

The holotype specimen includes rare skin impressions and bony plates (osteoderms) that show how its armour was arranged.1

5

Scolosaurus lived alongside other giant herbivores like Centrosaurus and hadrosaurs in the Dinosaur Park ecosystem.1

6

Its name comes from Greek words meaning 'pointed stake lizard', referring to the many spikes on its body.1

Ontdekking
Scolosaurus was named by Hungarian paleontologist Franz Nopcsa in 1928, based on a nearly complete skeleton found by William Cutler in 1914 in Alberta, Canada.12
Steeds omstrede
Scientists debate whether the dinosaur Oohkotokia from Montana is actually the same as Scolosaurus, which would mean Scolosaurus lived in the USA too.1
