What the Nodosaurus Among the Grass Shows
The four-legged Nodosaurus occupies the foreground, with a sturdy body, low head, and long tail seen from the side. Rows of armor plates and projecting spikes run along its back. Thick clusters of tall grass rise on both sides of the dinosaur from a simple stretch of ground.
Interesting Facts About Armored Dinosaurs
Nodosaurus belonged to a family of heavily armored plant eaters called nodosaurids. Unlike some other armored dinosaurs, nodosaurids did not have a large bony club at the end of the tail. Their protective skin contained hard bony plates called osteoderms, a feature also found in living crocodilians.
