Summary

Description
English: Illustration of Nodosaurus, an ankylosaurian dinosaur (North America, Cretaceous). This restoration is somewhat speculative and mostly based on closely related genera, as fossil remains of Nodosaurus are sparse.[1]
  • Head: no skull have been recovered. In this restoration, the head is based on the skull of the closely related Pawpawsaurus.[2]
  • Armour: Nodosaurus preserve some armour from the lumbar region its body.[1] The rest of is based on Sauropelta and Borealopelta (illustrations of body armour have been published by Brown et.al.).[3]
