Nodosaurus near a rocky crevice
This prehistoric plant eater is shown with the knobby body armor for which its group is known. It stands beside a narrow crevice among mountain rocks, placing the dinosaur in rugged terrain. The combination of its low, sturdy body and the surrounding stone emphasizes the protective plates and bumps along its back.
Facts about armored dinosaurs in rocky landscapes
Nodosaurus belonged to a group of heavily armored, four-legged dinosaurs called ankylosaurs. Rows of bony plates developed within its skin, helping to protect its back and sides, while spikes offered additional defense. Rocky environments can form crevices when stone fractures and the resulting cracks widen through weathering and erosion.
Possible natural colors of Nodosaurus
- Body: the exact color is unknown, but earthy brown, muted green, tan, or gray are plausible possibilities
- Bony armor: possibly darker brown, charcoal gray, dusty tan, or another shade that blended with the body
- Side spikes: likely keratin-covered in life, with possible cream, brown, gray, or dark tips
- Eyes: plausibly brown, amber, or very dark brown
- Mountain rocks: commonly gray, rust brown, sandy beige, reddish brown, or charcoal
