Scelidosaurus was one of the first complete dinosaurs ever found, and it is one of the most completely known dinosaurs from the British Isles.1
Its name was meant to mean 'hindlimb lizard', but the scientist who named it mixed up two Greek words, so it actually means 'rib of beef lizard'.1
Scelidosaurus had long horizontal rows of keeled oval bony plates (osteoderms) along its neck, back and tail for protection.1
It lived during the Early Jurassic, when Europe was a group of islands.1
The first fossils were found in the 1850s by quarry owner James Harrison near Charmouth, England.1
Scelidosaurus had a small head and a large gut to digest tough plants.1
