Kentrosaurus Beside the Basalt Columns
Kentrosaurus stands near tall rock columns, bringing its armored body into a rugged geological setting. This plant-eating dinosaur had plates along the forward part of its back and long spikes toward the hips and tail. The upright basalt formations create a strong contrast with the animal’s low, horizontal body shape.
Interesting Facts About Basalt and Kentrosaurus
Basalt forms when lava cools and hardens. As a thick mass of basalt contracts during cooling, it can split into striking polygonal columns. Kentrosaurus relied on vegetation for food, while the spikes on its tail probably helped protect it from predators.
