Prettige feite
Yingshanosaurus had a large spike near its shoulder that probably helped protect its body from predators.1
Its back plates were arranged in matching pairs along the neck, back, and tail, unlike some other stegosaurs that had staggered plates.1
This dinosaur lived during the Middle Jurassic, about 168 to 162 million years ago.2
The first Yingshanosaurus fossil was found in 1983 by a villager digging the foundation for his house in Jichuan Township.1
Yingshanosaurus was about 4 to 5 metres long, similar in size to the stegosaur Kentrosaurus from Africa.1
The holes between the vertebrae in its sacrum (hip area) were almost completely closed, a feature of more advanced stegosaurs.1

Mite-breker
