Nodosaurus in Standing Pose
A solitary Nodosaurus stands positioned on all four sturdy legs. Rows of thick, protective bony plates cover its entire back and upper sides, extending from its neck down to its tail. The quadruped herbivore keeps its head held close to the ground in a steady resting posture.
Armor Structure of Nodosaurus
Nodosaurus was one of the first armored dinosaurs discovered in North America, giving its name to the nodosaurid family. Its back was covered with alternating bands of large and small bony knobs, called osteoderms, embedded directly into its tough skin. Lacking a tail club, it relied on hunkering down close to the soil to defend its vulnerable underside from attackers.
Natural Colors of Nodosaurus
- Bony back plates: Dark earth brown or muted ochre tones
