Stegosaurus — Full Skeleton
Twin rows of plates rising along an arched Jurassic spine.
Mounted at full length, the cast presents the unmistakable silhouette of the Late Jurassic: a deeply arched back lined with alternating bony plates and a tail tipped by four formidable spikes. The forelimbs sit low and the hindlimbs tall, pitching the head toward the ground and lifting the armoured back into the room's upper register, a profile no other animal has worn before or since.
Every plate, vertebra and spike is hand-finished and assembled on a discreet armature, so the mount holds its commanding stance while reading as a single continuous gesture from beak to tail.
Stegosaurus stenops reached roughly seven metres in length, with weight estimates commonly placed in the region of three to five tonnes.
The four tail spikes are informally known as the thagomizer; an Allosaurus vertebra bearing a puncture matching a Stegosaurus spike has been cited as evidence of their defensive use.
The plates were set in two alternating rows rather than mirrored pairs, and are generally thought to have served in display and possibly heat regulation rather than as primary armour.
