趣味知識

Nodocephalosaurus is known only from a partial skull and some other bones.1

Its skull was covered in bulbous, bony knobs called osteoderms.1

It lived about 73 to 72 million years ago, during the Late Cretaceous.1

Nodocephalosaurus was closely related to another ankylosaur called Akainacephalus.1

The Kirtland Formation where it was found was once a warm, subtropical floodplain.1
