Gargoyleosaurus is one of the earliest known armoured dinosaurs, living during the Late Jurassic period.2
Its skull was covered in bony armour that was fused to the bone, making its head very tough.2
Scientists found a nearly complete skull and parts of the skeleton with the bones still joined together as they were in life.1
Gargoyleosaurus had features of both ankylosaurid and nodosaurid dinosaurs, which suggests all armoured dinosaurs came from a single ancestor.2
It was about 4 metres (13 feet) long, roughly the size of a small car.1
The name Gargoyleosaurus means 'gargoyle lizard', because its bumpy, spiky head reminded scientists of the stone gargoyles on old buildings.1
