OverviewPlease note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Stegosaurus is a genus of stegosaurid armored dinosaur from the Late Jurassic (Kimmeridgian to early Tithonian) in what is now western North America. In 2006, a specimen of Stegosaurus was announced from Portugal, showing that they were present in Europe as well. Due to its distinctive tail spikes and plates, Stegosaurus is one of the most recognizable dinosaurs, along with Tyrannosaurus, Triceratops, Diplodocus, and Apatosaurus. The name Stegosaurus means roof lizard (sometimes put as covered lizard , but in the sense that a roof covers a building) and is derived from the Greek IEI I-II?IC-, stegos- ( roof ) and IEI a?|I I?IC, -sauros ( lizard ). At least three species have been identified in the upper Morrison Formation and are known from the remains of about 80 individuals. They lived some 155 to 150 , in an environment and time dominated by the giant Diplodocus, Camarasaurus, and Apatosaurus.
