STEGOSAURUS
“Plated Lizard,” named by Othniel C. Marsh, 1877. First found at Morrison, Colorado. Adult length, 20 to 25 feet. Estimated weight, 2 to 5 tons. After the sauropods, this is the next most common animal in the Dinosaur National Monument Quarry. Fossils of it include a partial skeleton of a juvenile that was only about the size of a large dog. Its small brain was only the size of a walnut (weighing roughly 2.5 - 2.9 ounces). Its skull was long, pointed, and narrow; it had a toothless beak and small cheek teeth. Its head was carried close to the ground, probably no more than 3 feet (1 m) high. Stegosaurus had 17 bony plates that were embedded in its back. The arrangement of these plates was unknown until a 1992 Stegosaurus find in Colorado (Carpenter, et al.) - the plates ran along the Stegosaurus' back and tail in two rows, and the plates alternated in alignment.
