Nodosaurus — size comparison — facts and sources

Nodosaurus was an armoured herbivore with a low body and short, powerful limbs. Bony skin elements formed its characteristic protection. The reconstruction shows a long, tapering tail without a club, distinguishing this lineage from some later ankylosaurs.

Preserved material is incomplete, so not all head details and armour positions are equally certain.
