趣味知識

The name Anoplosaurus means 'unarmored lizard' because no armor plates were found with its skeleton.1

Scientists think Anoplosaurus might have been a young animal, which could explain why it had no armor.1

For many years, some scientists thought Anoplosaurus was a type of ornithopod dinosaur, not an armored one.1

The only known fossils of Anoplosaurus were found in the Cambridge Greensand, a rock layer that formed in a shallow sea.1

Anoplosaurus was about 1.5 meters (5 feet) long, which is about the size of a large dog.1

Harry Govier Seeley named Anoplosaurus in 1879 based on a partial skeleton discovered near Reach, Cambridgeshire.1
