Stegosaurus stenops

 

Stegosaurus stenops (Marsh, 1887)
Dinosauria
Ornithischia
Thyreophora
Stegosauria
Stegosauridae

Kimmeridgian to Tithonian (Late Jurassic)
Morrison Formation
United States (Colorado, Utah, Wyoming), Portugal?

Length: 7 m (up to 9 m?)

The 2014 reveal of the more complete "Sophie" specimen of Stegosaurus showed that this genus of dinosaur had a proportionally longer leg and less hunched back than previously thought, giving it a profile more similar to that of its relatives.
