1

Nipponopelta is the first armored dinosaur ever named from Japan.12

2

Its fossils were found in marine rocks, meaning its body may have washed out to sea after death.31

3

Scientists used CT scans to see hidden bones inside the rock, like two complete teeth and part of the inner ear.12

4

Nipponopelta belonged to a group called nodosaurids, which had long spikes on their shoulders but no tail club.23

5

Its ancestors likely walked from North America to Asia across a land bridge called Beringia about 100 million years ago.32

6

Nipponopelta lived near the coast, which may have helped its relatives spread between continents.12

7

The fossil was discovered in 1995 by a local fossil hunter named Eijiro Goto along a riverbank.12
