A stegosaurus is a dinosaur from the Jurassic period around 150 million years ago.
A stegosaurus was a large and heavy dinosaur. A fully grown stegosaurus was around 9 metres or 30 feet in length. It could grow up to 4 metres or 14 feet in height. It was nearly 5,000 kilograms in weight!
The Stegosaurus is the most famous dinosaur from a group of dinosaurs known as Stegosauria. Stegosauria dinosaurs were all herbivores and had rows of unique bones the developed into plates and spines along their back and tail.
Did you know the the name 'Stegosaurus' comes from the Greek works 'stegos' meaning 'roof and 'sauros' meaning lizard?
The 17 plates that were found along the back of the Stegosaurus were on the skin rather being attached to the skeleton.
Stegosaurus fossils have been found in North America and more recently in Portugal.
WALT understand the structure of a report.
I know I can do this when I can write the title, followed by the details and then the conclusion.
Hi Dhon,
ReplyDeleteI think your dinosaur report is outstanding, because it has so much information and facts, including when the dinosaur lived. Where did you get lots of facts and information in such a short period of time?
