Europelta is the most complete ankylosaur ever found in Europe.1

Two partial skeletons were found together in a coal mine, showing these dinosaurs may have lived in groups.2

It was a nodosaurid, a type of armored dinosaur with spikes on its shoulders and a club-less tail.1

Europelta was the largest member of its group, Struthiosaurini, weighing about as much as a small car.1

Its fossils were found in rocks that were once a freshwater swamp, full of plant debris and coal.2
