Fatgs divertents

Dyoplosaurus means 'double-armoured lizard' because of its two layers of bony plates and spikes.1

Its tail club was smaller than those of other ankylosaurids, so scientists think it might not have been strong enough to break bones.1

Fossilized skin impressions show that Dyoplosaurus had a mosaic of small, bony bumps on its body.1

Dyoplosaurus lived alongside other dinosaurs like the horned Chasmosaurus, the duck-billed Corythosaurus, and the predator Gorgosaurus.1

The first Dyoplosaurus fossil was found in 1919 by Levi Sternberg near the Red Deer River in Alberta, Canada.1

For a long time, scientists thought Dyoplosaurus was the same as Euoplocephalus, but newer studies show it is its own unique dinosaur.1

Las dumondas las pli frequentas davart Dyoplosaurus

?How big was Dyoplosaurus?

Dyoplosaurus was about 4 to 4.5 metres long and weighed around 1.2 metric tons.1

?What did Dyoplosaurus eat?

Dyoplosaurus was a plant-eater. It had a beak-like mouth for cropping vegetation.2

?Could Dyoplosaurus break bones with its tail club?

Probably not. Its tail club was smaller than those of other ankylosaurids, and a 2009 study found it could not generate enough force to puncture bone.1

?When did Dyoplosaurus live?

Dyoplosaurus lived during the Late Cretaceous period, about 76.5 to 75 million years ago.1

Chatschader da mitus

Mitus: Some people think Dyoplosaurus was just a young Euoplocephalus.

Vardad: Scientists now agree that Dyoplosaurus is a separate genus with distinct features, like its triangular toe claws and tail club that is longer than wide.1

Anc discutà: Scientists still debate exactly how Dyoplosaurus used its tail club. Some think it was for defense, but the club might have been too small to be effective.1
