酷東西

趣味知識

Panoplosaurus had no big spikes on its body, unlike many other armoured dinosaurs. Instead, it had smooth, regularly shaped plates and small bony bumps.1

Its shoulder blade was completely fused to the coracoid bone, which is a rare feature among ankylosaurs.1

The hand of Panoplosaurus may have had only three fingers, fewer than most other armoured dinosaurs.1

Its skull had a very domed top and a bony plate covering the cheek, which might be unique to this species.1

Panoplosaurus lived about 76 to 75 million years ago, during the Late Cretaceous, in what is now Alberta, Canada.1 2

Scientists think Panoplosaurus may have swallowed small stones to help grind up plants in its stomach, but the evidence is not certain.1

發現: In 1917, Charles M. Sternberg found a nearly complete skull and skeleton in Alberta, Canada. Lawrence Lambe named it Panoplosaurus mirus in 1919, but he died before his work was published.1
仍有爭議: Scientists debate which fossils belong to Panoplosaurus and which belong to its close relative Edmontonia, because their remains are very similar.1
