Two Denversaurus meet at sunset. Referenced from a photo I took in Montana this summer.

Denversaurus belongs to the ankylosaurian family nodosauridae. Unlike ankylosauridae, nodosaurids lack a tail club and many have shoulder spikes.

Ankylosaurus magniventris teeth can be identified with a combination of a bulbous base and a prominent center ridge, the latter which is not present in this tooth. While I'm not sure about all tooth positions of Denversaurus, some nodosaurids can possibly have a bulbous base as well... I think?

A dinosaur tooth of an ankylosaur, possibly Denversaurus schlessmani from the Hell Creek Formation in Baker, Fallon County, Montana, USA. Not being well versed, the bulbous base could also suggest Ankylosaurus. #FossilFriday

Said this before but, while theropods couldn't turn as fast as their quadrupedal prey, they didn't need to!

Half their body length was sticking out in front of their legs. With their head, neck, or even torso flexing to the sides, that's a lot of lateral reach. Like so:
Skeleton mounts of T. rex attacking Denversaurus that I think adequately demonstrate what I'm talking about. Not as quick of a turner, but T. rex doesn't need to run a semicircle around the ankylosaur. Just circle around, look for an opening, and use its lateral reach to land a bite. Photo by Wikipedia user Agsftw. Better image showing the T. rex turning its head and neck to reach out and bite. Original image from the HMNS blog.

There is simply no way that only one mid-large sized predator species (think T. rex) can be enough to control the numbers of many herbivore species (Edmontosaurus, Triceratops, Torosaurus, Ankylosaurus, Denversaurus, Thescelosaurus, Struthomimus, Leptoceratops, etc). 17/28

Denversaurus grew 20 feet long in Colorado 68 million years ago. Armor plates fused solid. It lived in coastal marshes.


Its beak cropped soft plants. The tail lacked a club. Fossils show dense bones. It roamed in protective herds.

Tyrannosaurus rex vs Denversaurus schlessmani

As a Denversaurus was lounging in a forest clearing, a Tyrannosaurus rushed out of the tree line to attack. In seconds, a peaceful day has turned into a nightmare for the ankylosaur...

Working on a new nododaur exhibit in the museum featuring the disembodied noggins of Denversaurus and Silvisaurus. Also some real armor parts too. Everything on these animals look like brown lumps.
Two armored Dinosaur skulls inside the display vitrine. I scanned and printed the armor pieces so our guides can have hands on elements for visitors

I've had to go through so much shit trying to scale some skeletals because they don't have one for the Hell Creek Size Chart. Notably, the Denversaurus skeletals

Cor is a nodosaurid kaiju that was freed from Mount Roraima and is now staking its claim to the Amazon Rainforest section of Venezuela . In 1925, an expedition to the Amazon Rainforest was booked to Mount Roraima. As the professor and his crew dug through the tepui, they dugtoo deep and entered a giant underground chamber. Strange dinosaurs populated the land but did not resemble their fossil counterparts. They provoked an enormous saurian kaiju that emerged from the jungle and attacked. The survivors escaped deeper into the jungle to hide but met another kaiju. A battle ensued between the two kaiju with the survivors caught in the middle. In 2020, the mountain by Majestic. The two kaiju attacked one another and the invading humans in the midst of their turf war, but both were felled by gas and maser tanks. As the creatures were airlifted out of the big holes dug into the side of the tepui, they were delivered to a cargo ship to be transported to Institute of Cryptozoological Research and Scientific Advancements . Majestic was headed off by the Brazilian, Guyanese, and Venezuelan army and navy with the intent to arrest and prosecute for defacing Mount Roraima and unauthorized activity on foreign soil. As the forces stood off, the gas began to wear off, and the kaiju regained their strength. Both monsters engaged in a turf war and crushed the surrounding forces underfoot, doing battle with both them and each other before splitting off. The nodosaur kaiju ventured into Venezuela and laid claim to the Amazon Rainforest.

You’ve probably heard of Ankylosaurus, but what about Denversaurus? This armored dinosaur lived at the same time, 67 million years ago, but was a nodosaur - meaning spiky armor but no tail club. Here’s the herbivore having a friendly chat with Tyrannosaurus at the Houston Museum of Natural Science 🧪

Denversaurus was an armoured dinosaur contemporaneous with T.rex. Found in the Lance Formation of North America, this 6 meter long herbivore was among the largest and last of its lineage of un-clubbed ankylosaurians. The picture below is this dino on display at the HMNS (Houston) alongside Wyrex.

You probably know our Late Cretaceous friend Ankylosaurus, but there was another big ankylosaur roaming western North America 66 million years ago - Denversaurus. A nodosaur, Denversaurus lacked a tail club and went in for big flank spikes instead. 🧪
