An Entity of Type : dbkwik:resource/6_E3Vm7U5aYPXO61bTJKrA==, within Data Space : dbkwik.webdatacommons.org associated with source dataset(s)

Polacanthus was a quadrupedal ornithischian or "bird-hipped" dinosaur. It lived 130 to 125 million years ago in what is now western Europe.[4] Its type species Polacanthus foxii was named after a find on the Isle of Wight in 1865. There are not many fossil remains of this creature, and some important anatomical features, such as its skull, are poorly known. Early depictions often gave it a very generic head as it was only known from the rear half of the creature. It grew to about 5 metres (16 ft) long. Its body was covered with armour plates and spikes. It possibly was a basal member of the Nodosauridae.

  • In the genus Polacanthus several species have been named but only the type species Polcanthus foxii is today seen as valid. Polacanthus was a quadrupedal ornithischian or "bird-hipped" dinosaur.

  • Polacanthus (meaning many thorns) was an early armored, plant-eating Ankylosaur from the early Cretaceous period. It lived 132 to 112 million years ago in what is now western Europe.

  • Polacanthus was a herbivorous ornithischian dinosaur that grew 4 to 5 metres (13.1 to 16.5 ft) long. As a polacanthine nodosaur dinosaur, Polacanthus was distantly related to the much bigger Ankylosaurus, which, however, lived much later, was much larger than Polacanthus, and was, instead, an ankylosaurid. Edmontonia from the WWD movie, on the other hand, was a closer relative to Polacanthus than to Anklylosaurus.
  • Polacanthus, deriving its name from the Ancient Greek polys-/πολύς- "many" and akantha/ἄκανθα "thorn" or "prickle", is an early armoured, spiked, plant eating ankylosaurian dinosaur from the early Cretaceous period. In the genus Polacanthus several species have been named but only the type species Polcanthus foxii is today seen as valid. It appears a few times in Turok comics as a background dinosaur.
