Thyreosaurus was a medium-sized stegosaur that lived in what is now Morocco during the Middle Jurassic. It had thick, shield-like plates on its back that were different from the upright plates of other stegosaurs.23

趣味知識

1

Thyreosaurus had unusual dermal armour: thick, oval to rectangular plates with a rough texture on one side and a cross-hatched pattern on the other.3

2

Its plates were probably lying flat on its body, not sticking up like the plates of Stegosaurus.3

3

The name Thyreosaurus comes from the ancient Greek word for an oblong shield, because its armour looked like shields.1

4

Thyreosaurus lived about 168 to 161 million years ago, during the Bathonian and Callovian ages of the Middle Jurassic.2

5

Its fossils were found in the El Mers III Formation in Morocco, alongside other dinosaurs like the stegosaur Adratiklit and the ankylosaur Spicomellus.1

6

The holotype skeleton includes nine back vertebrae, ribs, a possible leg bone, and several armour plates.1
