1

Diracodon was named by the famous paleontologist Othniel Charles Marsh in 1881.3

2

The name Diracodon means 'two-point tooth' or 'two-ray tooth', but scientists are not sure exactly what it refers to.1

3

Diracodon is known from a partial skeleton, including parts of the skull and jaws.1

4

Some scientists think Diracodon might be the same animal as Stegosaurus, because their fossils are very similar.1

5

Diracodon lived in the Late Jurassic, about 155 to 145 million years ago, in what is now North America.1

6

Like other stegosaurs, Diracodon probably had plates on its back and spikes on its tail, but we don't have direct evidence from its fossils.3
