The first Stegosaurus fossil was found in Colorado, USA, in 1876 by M. P. Felch. Paleontologist Othniel C. Marsh named Stegosaurus in 1877. The most complete Stegosaurus yet found (nicknamed Spike) was discovered near Canon City, Colorado, USA in 1992 by Bryan Small, Tim Seeber, and ...
with 254 fossil bone elements (of an approximate total of 319), with additional 3D printed and sculpted elements. Judging from the overall size and degree of the bone development it can be determined that the skeleton belonged to a large, robust adult individual, and evidence of arthritis, par...

Although we know that dinosaurs fought and fed on one another, scientists don’t have a trove of fossil evidence that shows exactly how it happened. However, they do have a few very well-preserved pieces from a Stegosaurus vs Allosaurus fight. Who was the winner, and how did they manage?

Marsh released a more recognisable image of Stegosaurus in 1891, with a single row of plates. It was abandoned quite early (seemingly because it was poorly apprehended how the plates were entrenched in the skin, and they were deemed to coincide too much in this arrangement). Stephen Czerkas ...
across its back. It wasn't until the 1960's and 1970's that further fossil evidence was uncovered indicating that the plates of Stegosaurus were actually arranged in two alternating, offset rows. Today, virtually all modern reconstructions use this arrangement, with some variation in how far the...
