Nipponopelta is the first armored dinosaur ever named from Japan.1 2

Its fossils were found in marine rocks, meaning its body may have washed out to sea after death.3 1

Scientists used CT scans to see hidden bones inside the rock, like two complete teeth and part of the inner ear.1 2

Nipponopelta belonged to a group called nodosaurids, which had long spikes on their shoulders but no tail club.2 3

Its ancestors likely walked from North America to Asia across a land bridge called Beringia about 100 million years ago.3 2

Nipponopelta lived near the coast, which may have helped its relatives spread between continents.1 2

The fossil was discovered in 1995 by a local fossil hunter named Eijiro Goto along a riverbank.1 2

?What did Nipponopelta eat?

It ate plants. Its teeth were small and leaf-shaped, good for cropping vegetation.3

?When did Nipponopelta live?

It lived during the Late Cretaceous period, about 96 to 94 million years ago.5

?Where was Nipponopelta found?

Its fossils were found in Hokkaido, Japan, along the bank of the Omakizawa River in Yūbari city.1

?Did Nipponopelta have a tail club?

No. Nipponopelta was a nodosaurid, and nodosaurids did not have a tail club. Instead, they had long spikes on their shoulders.3

?How did Nipponopelta get to Japan?

Its ancestors likely walked from North America to Asia across a land bridge called Beringia about 100 million years ago.3

?Is Nipponopelta a dinosaur?
