3

Its back plates were longer and lower than those of its close relative Stegosaurus.1

4

Hesperosaurus lived a little earlier than other stegosaurs from the Morrison Formation.1

5

The tail spikes, called a thagomizer, had two pairs: the front pair thicker and the rear pair thinner and more horizontal.1

6

Scientists have debated whether Hesperosaurus should be its own genus or a species of Stegosaurus.1
