stegosaurs
Armored Jurassic reptiles
Stegosaurs are a group of plant-eating dinosaurs from the Jurassic period, characterized by rows of bony plates along the spine and spiked tails.
The most familiar is Stegosaurus, with its distinctive diamond-shaped back plates.
The name means "roofed lizard," from early speculation that the plates lay flat like shingles.
