Datu dibertigarriak
Scutellosaurus had over 300 bony plates called osteoderms on its neck, back and tail.1
It lived about 196 million years ago during the Early Jurassic Period.1
This dinosaur was only about 1.3 metres long, about the size of a large dog.1
Scutellosaurus could walk on two legs, unlike later armoured dinosaurs that walked on all fours.1
Its closest relatives include Emausaurus and Scelidosaurus, which were also early armoured dinosaurs.1
The first fossil was found by David Lawler on the Navajo Nation in Arizona.1
Its name means 'little-shielded lizard' because of the many small shields on its body.1
