The gigantspinosaurus may not be the most armored of its kind, but don't be fooled as nature itself warns of a powerful poison with its color.

i saw u have a special interest in dinos— what is ur fav dino? tell me about them <33

Wow another hard to pick question!!!

I have so many... I guess I will pick the one that ive been obsessed with the longest, since I was a little kid. But god, this is such a hard choice, there's so many fantastic ones out there...

Ok maybe this is a lame answer since it's pretty popular, but I'll have to go with the stegosaurs. Like damn that thagomizer!!! <3 what a badass protective weapon!!! And the dorsal plates!!! So fucking cool and we're still trying to figure out their main function. Obviously stegosaurus has my heart, but I really like the species that have shoulder spines too.

For example, Gigantspinosaurus sichuanensis, known as the gigantspinosaurus (it's literally named after its giant shoulder spines lol). It was a medium sized stegosaur, with smaller than usual dorsal plates. But its shoulder spines were over twice as long as its scapula, and longer than its legs!!!

Here are some pictures!

I took this picture from The Smithsonian's The Dinosaur Book. It's a really nice visual book, the art is stunning I highly recommend. If u wanna know the ISBN you're welcome to dm me. Gigantspinosaurus is in the top right corner.

Thanks for asking 😊💕

Gigantspinosaurus

[bulkhead08]

Gigantspinosaurus sichuanensis, a species of stegosaur from the late Jurassic of China.

Some may remember this fella from Jurassic World Evolution, where I was first introduced to this species.

#Archovember Day 22 - Kentrosaurus aethiopicus

Much smaller than its cousin Stegosaurus, Kentrosaurus aethiopicus was still a very unique stegosaur. From the Late Jurassic of Tanzania, Kentrosaurus had multiple means of defense: from a row of plates down its back that gradually merged into spikes, to longer spikes on the end of the tail, and even spikes on each shoulder! Well… probably. These two unique, broad-based spikes were not found attached to the animal. Classically, they were placed on the hips. However, the more recent discoveries of Gigantspinosaurus and Huayangosaurus had shoulder spines, so it is now typically placed on the shoulders.

Kentrosaurus was a herbivore and did not seem to do much chewing, instead swallowing its food in large chunks, probably also swallowing stones to help grind its food. It would have eaten low-growing food and fruit, though it may have also been able to rear up on its hind legs to reach higher vegetation.

There seem to have been two seperate morphologies of Kentrosaurus: one robust and one gracile. It is suggested that these represent sexual dimorphism, with the more common robust form being females and the less common gracile form being males. However, the ratio of common/uncommon may be skewed by the robust form being more easily fossilized.

Kentrosaurus aethiopicus lived alongside the small iguanodontian Dysalotosaurus, sauropods like Giraffatitan and Dicraeosaurus, theropods like Elaphrosaurus and Veterupristisaurus, and small mammals like Brancatherulum.

anything I didn't mention just pick the closest thing (compsognathids put with weird floofs, basal Neornithischians with Ornithopods, etc)
