EUDPLOCEPHALUS Dinosaur Figurine Toy Terra by Battat™ and Dan LoRusso Collection™ Name Means: Well-Armed Head Period: Late Cretaceous 70-65 Million Years Ago Order: Omithischia Suborder: Hadrosauridae Location: Alberta, Canada Diet: Herbivore (Plant-Eater) Length: 20 ft (6 m) long Weight: 2.2 tons (2 metric tons) Discoverer: Lawrence Lambe (1897) The body of Euoplocephalus was very broad with a flat low-slung torso, about four feet high on four short, sturdy legs. The armored skull had a short drooping snout with a horny beak to bite off plants. Like other ankylosaurs, it was covered by bony armor plates, with rows of large high-ridged scutes. The tail club of ankylosaurs is thought to be a defensive weapon. A 2009 study concluded that the large ankylosaur clubs could make enough force while swinging, that it could break bones during impact.
