Fatgs divertents

1

Scutellosaurus had over 300 bony plates called osteoderms on its neck, back and tail.1

2

It lived about 196 million years ago during the Early Jurassic Period.1

3

This dinosaur was only about 1.3 metres long, about the size of a large dog.1

4

Scutellosaurus could walk on two legs, unlike later armoured dinosaurs that walked on all fours.1

5

Its closest relatives include Emausaurus and Scelidosaurus, which were also early armoured dinosaurs.1

6

The first fossil was found by David Lawler on the Navajo Nation in Arizona.1

7

Its name means 'little-shielded lizard' because of the many small shields on its body.1

Scientists are not sure exactly how the bony plates were arranged on its body, because the fossils are incomplete.1
