Armored Saltasaurus on Four Legs
A Saltasaurus stands evenly on all four legs with its long neck and extending tail. Small armored bony plates and short spikes cover its back, providing natural protection as the dinosaur rests outdoors over ground vegetation.
Bony Armor of Late Cretaceous Sauropods
Saltasaurus was the first sauropod discovered to possess osteoderms, which were bony plates embedded in its skin. These tough armor structures ranged from small nodules to larger bony studs running along its back and sides.
Natural Colors of Saltasaurus
- Saltasaurus skin: pebbled greenish gray or dark mud brown
- Back armor studs: pale horn gray or off-white
- Underbelly: soft beige or light yellow-brown
- Ground grass: rich emerald green or dry olive
