Ankylosaurus is a genus of armoured Dinosaur that lived during the Cretaceous between 83.5-66 million years ago, making it one of the last non-avian Dinosaurs to have roamed the planet. Ankylosaurus is recognised by its Armor plating scutes that covered most of its body and its clubbed tail which both together would have given this Dinosaur a great defense against predatory Dinosaurs such as Tyrranosaurus rex and possibly was also used against other rival Ankylosaurs. Ankylosaurus was a herbivorous Dinosaur that lived during the Cretaceous in what is now know as western north America.This a beautiful piece of armour/ scute from this iconic Dinosaur, the pitting and shape the s typical for scutes located in the head region.
