About this ebook
Long ago in the Jurassic age, 150 million years before the present day, a strange and wonderful assortment of dinosaurs lived on Earth. This was tens of millions of years before the time of dinosaur “superstars” like triceratops and tyrannosaurus, but there were plenty of famous, interesting animals alive at that time, too. Stegosaurus was one of these – a bus sized creature with two rows of plates sticking up along its back like the frill on the spine of a legendary dragon. Besides the rows of plates on its back, stegosaurus had big spikes on its tail that look a lot like the barbs on a medieval knight's mace.
In this book, you'll learn all about what made this massive giant great--from what they looked like and ate to where they lived and what they did all day.

Introduction
Long ago in the Jurassic age, 150 million years before the present day, a strange and wonderful assortment of dinosaurs lived on Earth. This was tens of millions of years before the time of dinosaur superstars
like triceratops and tyrannosaurus, but there were plenty of famous, interesting animals alive at that time, too. Stegosaurus was one of these – a bus sized creature with two rows of plates sticking up along its back like the frill on the spine of a legendary dragon. Besides the rows of plates on its back, stegosaurus had big spikes on its tail that look a lot like the barbs on a medieval knight's mace.
This weird armored dinosaur comes from the middle of the period during which dinosaurs ruled the world. The extinction of all kinds of these creatures was far off in the distant future, and stegosaurus trundled along over a huge range in the northern half of the world with no idea of what time had in store for all dinosaurs; which was probably just as well.
Though not as many people know about it, stegosaurus had just as many exciting encounters with big meat-eaters as triceratops did with tyrannosaurus – though the triceratops fights are shown much more often in paintings and movies. Stegosaurus had what's been called a thagomizer
on the end of its tail – four big sharp spikes arranged so that two stick out to either side – and as we'll see later on in this book, there is a lot of evidence they used this thagomizer to fight allosaurus, the largest known and most dangerous predator of their time.
Stegosaurus is an exciting dinosaur not only because of the predators it had to deal with, but because of all the other things we've learned about them with modern science; and everything that their fossils tell us about their world. Every detail that we find out about this ancient, vanished world brings it to life more vividly and clearly in our minds, and lets us understand our own time better.
