Welcome to the slight confusion of a dinosaur that the name we STARTED hunting for turns out to be the less common or even a miss name. So we started with the name Denversaurus (even though skeleton pieces were found in Dakota??) and quickly found out it was another “local to our old home” dinosaur with the better known and accepted name of Edmontonia. (Dinosaur Resource Center HERE)

Another from the late Cretaceous period this is another plated dinosaur with spikes. As Emanuel correctly guessed, an herbivore. With its bulky low slung body it was basically a walking tank and considered part of the Nodosaur family. In fact, if you have 65 thousand dollars and the space you can order your own fossil reproduction of one from the Black Hills Institute HERE.

Now for our links… Animal Planet has a piece under the name Denversaurus HERE. Science Kids has a great picture HERE. Dinonsaurs.about.com has a great fact sheet HERE. Dinosdinosaurs.com has a nice diagram HERE. Cooldinofacts.wikia.com has a great action shot HERE. Kidsdinos has their usual map etc HERE. Wiki has its article HERE. And our colouring page came from THIS site. I could not, for the life of me, find a video that was actually about THIS dinosaur and NOT one in the same family, but I hope these links are helpful! 

Rainbows and all!
