It's always a pleasure to run into a fellow Brit so far away from home. Meet Scelidosaurus, an early armored dinosaur from England and Ireland.

Remarkably, paleontologists have found specimens of every bone in the skeleton of Scelidosaurus. An impressive feat, considering that many dinosaurs are known from partial or even fragmentary skeletons.

The relationship between Scelidosaurus and the other armored dinosaurs - stegosaurs and ankylosaurs - is the subject of hot debate in the scientific community. It’s been well over a century since that discussion started and we’re still not completely sure where this fella fits in.

The "armor" pieces on armored dinosaurs are more accurately called "osteoderms," a word that literally means "bone skin."
