Datos curiosos

1

Stegouros is named after the Aónik'enk people's mythical armoured creature, elengassen.1

2

Its tail weapon is made of seven pairs of flat bony plates that fuse together at the tip, forming a shape like a frond or an Aztec club called a macuahuitl.12

3

Stegouros belongs to a special group of southern armoured dinosaurs called Parankylosauria, which split off from other ankylosaurs very early in the Cretaceous.12

4

Only the tail of Stegouros was truly unique; the rest of its body was more like older, simpler armoured dinosaurs.1

5

The skeleton was found in 2018 near the Río de las Chinas valley in southern Chile, and it was almost complete with the skull and lower jaws.1

6

Stegouros lived about 74.9 to 71.7 million years ago, during the Late Cretaceous period.1

7

Its close relatives include Antarctopelta from Antarctica and Kunbarrasaurus from Australia, suggesting these dinosaurs moved across southern landmasses.12
