Kentrosaurus is a genus of stegosaurian dinosaur that lived during the Late Jurassic period, about 155-150 million years ago. Its name, Kentrosaurus, means “spike lizard” in reference to the long spikes that run down its back and tail. It was a relatively small dinosaur, measuring around 4.5 m (15 ft) in length and weighing around 900 kg (2,000 lbs). Like other stegosaurians, it had a distinctive body shape, with a small head, a heavily built body, and a row of bony plates along its back. The spikes on its tail were even longer than those on its back, measuring up to 70 cm (28 in) in length.
Despite its small size, Kentrosaurus was a formidable herbivore. Its teeth were adapted for cropping and grinding plant material, and it likely fed on a variety of low-growing vegetation. Its bony plates and spikes may have served as defensive weapons against predators like Allosaurus, which were common in its environment. The fossils of Kentrosaurus have been found in Tanzania and other parts of East Africa. They are often found in association with the fossils of other dinosaurs, including the long-necked sauropods like Brachiosaurus. This suggests that Kentrosaurus may have lived in herds and shared its environment with a variety of other plant-eating dinosaurs.

The cache is not at the posted coordinates, but you may begin your search from any point in the world!
This Wherigo converts your player into a virtual version of the "Reverse Cache Box" which tells you the distance to the cache, but not the bearing. You may begin your search from any spot in the world using your Smartphone or Whereigo compatible GPS to navigate to the cache.
A tutorial on Reverse Wherigo caches can be found here: Reverse Wherigo Tutorial.
This cartridge is available to download from the wherigo.com website.
Your task is to find the cache by periodically querying your Reverse Cache Box for the distance to the final location. Try to use your Reverse Cache Box as few times as possible. All instructions and necessary information needed to complete the cartridge is contained within it. The cartridge is multilingual.
To begin, you will have to type this code into your player:
338355
307516
193121
It is suggested that you take the code with you on your journey. It will be needed if it becomes necessary to restart your player for any reason.
When you have reached the final, you will be given some statistics on your quest. If you wish, you may enter the details into your log, and also post the number of times you calculated the distance.
At the end of the game, you will be given a personal pass-code which you can enter into the cartridge if you select "create" rather than "play" when you start the cartridge. Save this code, and if you ever wish to create your own reverse cache, you can do so.
