最完整劍龍化石12月4日倫敦展出

Incredible Near-Complete Stegosaurus Skeleton

For the first time in nearly 100 years, the near-complete skeleton of a dinosaur will go on display at the Natural History Museum in London. The dinosaur, a stegosaurus, is only missing its left arm and the base of its tail, and will likely spur a handful of studies about the anatomy of the Stegosaurus stenops species.
Wyoming find

Excavators found the stegosaurus (Stegosaurus stenops) at the Red Canyon Ranch in Wyoming. Stegosaurus roamed areas in the American West during the late Jurassic Period, about 155 million to 150 million years ago. (Photo credit: © The Trustees of Natural History Museum, London.)

Stegosaurus front view

The stegosaurus stands 9.5 feet tall (2.9 meters), 18.3 feet long (5.6 m) and has more than 300 bones. It's unclear whether it was a male or a female, but the specimen had reached young adulthood, the researchers said. (Photo credit: © Natural History Museum, London.)

Giant Plates

Stegosaurus plates

The name stegosaurus means "roofed lizard," because paleontologists initially thought that the dinosaurs' plates lay flat on its back, much like shingles on the roof of a house. Now, evidence suggests that the plates stood upright on the animals' backs and tail. (Photo credit: © Trustees of Natural History Museum, London.)

Stegosaurus feet
