About 110 million years ago, a large plant-eating dinosaur covered with sharp points walked the land. Called a nodosaur, it is now the best example of its kind ever found. This new species of dinosaur is being called a one-in-a-billion discovery. Recently it was put on display at Canada’s Royal Tyrrell Museum in Drummheller, Alberta. The museum worked with the U.S. National Geographic Society to research the nodosaur. The National Geographic magazine June issue featured the dinosaur. This is an incredibly unique specimen, says Caleb Brown, the museum’s lead researcher on the nodosaur. He says it is so well preserved, with skin and armor, and it is three-dimensional. That means it was not flattened after it died.
