Scelidosaurus

Early Jurassic armoured dinosaur genus

Scelidosaurus (with the intended meaning of "limb lizard", from Greek skelis/σκελίς meaning 'rib of beef' and sauros/σαυρος meaning 'lizard') is a genus of herbivorous armoured ornithischian dinosaur from the Jurassic of England. Scelidosaurus lived during the Early Jurassic epoch, during the Sinemurian to Pliensbachian ages around 191 million years ago, at the time when Europe formed an island archipelago. Its fossils have been found in the Charmouth Mudstone Formation near Charmouth in Dorset, England, and these fossils are known for their excellent preservation.
