What the sunny Nodosaurus scene shows
The dinosaur’s low body is protected by rounded armor sections, with rows of spikes extending along its back and sides. Tufts of grass surround its feet in the foreground. Mountain peaks rise behind the animal beneath scattered clouds and a small sun.
Interesting facts about Nodosaurus and its armor
Nodosaurus belonged to a family of heavily armored, plant-eating dinosaurs related to ankylosaurs. Its protection consisted of bony plates called osteoderms that formed within the skin, and spikes along the sides helped make it difficult for predators to attack. Unlike the best-known club-tailed ankylosaurs, Nodosaurus is not thought to have carried a large bony club at the end of its tail.
