Dacentrurus
Dacentrurus is a stegosaurian dinosaur from the Late Jurassic to Early Cretaceous, discovered in what is now England. Dacentrurus was one of the largest stegosaurs, with some specimens estimated to reach up to 9 m in length, and weighing around 5 t. Though finds of this animal have been limited and much of its appearance is uncertain, it was a heavily built quadrupedal herbivore with plates and spikes along its back.

This took so long and I’m not even that proud of it aughhh. I love the pose but I hate clothing and I hate shading
But yeah it’s just. A random idea I had. Enemies dancing together is an overdone concept but it’s so fun everytime
Britain on the left is an iguanodon, and France on the right is a dacentrurus
Not meant as ship hence the less-than-pleased facial expressions but I won’t care if it’s tagged as ship.

Dacentrurus
Another Dinovember piece. I was...kinda going for pokemon here, but instead I feel like I hit deep sea creature.
Fair enough lol
Watch me draw it here
[ID: A dacentrurus drawn in shades of yello, green, and blue. The dinosaur has a series of orbs emitting sparks on its head and neck, with a frill of lightning-bolt shaped spikes on its back, and a tail with lightning bolts and sparks emitting from it. It is looking at the viewer. /ID]

Some resources are hard to come by for animals, like for herbivores who need to counter toxins from their food
After a fire, one resource is easier to find: charcoal, and these two Dacentrurus have been lucky enough to stumble upon the aftermath
The adult fills with as much as it can, while the youngest takes a nap, and Hilda... well... she's just using some charcoal as an emergency pencil

Thyreosaurus atlasicus Zafaty et al., 2024 (new genus and species)
(Armor plates of Thyreosaurus atlasicus [scale bars = 5 cm], from Zafaty et al., 2024)
Meaning of name: Thyreosaurus = shield lizard [in Greek]; atlasicus = from the Atlas Mountains
Age: Middle Jurassic (Bathonian–Callovian?)
Where found: El Mers III Formation, Fès-Meknès, Morocco
How much is known: Partial skeleton of one individual including several vertebrae, ribs, armor plates, and a limb bone.
Notes: Thyreosaurus was a stegosaur, possibly closely related to Adratiklit, which is also known from the Middle Jurassic of Morocco, and Dacentrurus from the Late Jurassic–Early Cretaceous of Europe. The type specimen is estimated to have been about 6 m long in total body length, but had not finished growing when it died.
The armor plates of Thyreosaurus were unusual in that they exhibit a cross-hatched texture on one side. In other armored dinosaurs, similar textures are generally found at the base of bony armor where it is embedded into their skin. The describers of Thyreosaurus thus suggest that these plates lay flat against its body, instead of standing vertically as is typical of back plates in other stegosaurs.
Reference: Zafaty, O., M. Oukassou, F. Riguetti, J. Company, S. Bendrioua, R. Tabuce, A. Charrière, and X. Pereda-Suberbiola. 2024. A new stegosaurian dinosaur (Ornithischia: Thyreophora) with a remarkable dermal armour from the Middle Jurassic of North Africa.
