Sarcolestes is one of the oldest known armoured dinosaurs from the Middle Jurassic.1
When it was first discovered, scientists thought Sarcolestes was a meat-eating dinosaur. Now we know it was a plant-eater.1
Its name means 'flesh robber' because the first scientist who studied it believed it was a predator.1
Sarcolestes lived alongside other Jurassic animals in the Oxford Clay sea, which was a shallow ocean at the time.3
