The Armored Gastonia along Prehistoric Waterways
A heavily armored Gastonia spends time along the muddy bank of a gently flowing creek. Positioned right beside a smooth, wide boulder, the prehistoric creature remains close to the water source. The tranquil stream environment showcases natural rock formations and waterside habitats typical of ancient river valleys.
Unique Features of Gastonia and River Habitats
Gastonia was an ankylosaurian dinosaur covered in heavy bone plates and sharp lateral spikes that protected its body from predators. Shallow streams and riverbanks offered abundant hydration as well as soft vegetation for plant-eating reptiles. Rocks along riverways were shaped over time by water currents, creating stable resting spots for heavy herbivorous reptiles.
