It is based on a partial skeleton from the latest Albian-earliest Cenomanian-age Lower and Upper Cretaceous Belle Fourche Member of the Frontier Formation of Fremont County, Wyoming, USA.       (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});after-content-x4Table of ContentsHistory[edit]Paleobiology[edit]See also[edit]References[edit]External links[edit]History[edit]  In 1905, Samuel Wendell Williston described FMNH UR88, a partial armored dinosaur skeleton consisting of a maxilla fragment, seven cervical and two dorsal vertebrae, part of a sacrum and both ilia, caudal vertebrae, parts of the scapulae, both humeral heads, portions of an ulna and both radii, a metacarpal, partial tibia, metatarsal, and armor including a shoulder spine and neck ring.[1][2] The specimen was in poor condition, as it had eroded from a slope and been walked on by cattle.[3]Ankylosaurians being very poorly known, Williston compared his new genus to Stegosaurus, and the armor to that of Glyptodon;[1] like that mammal, Stegopelta had a fused section of armor (in its case over the pelvis).  Roy Lee Moodie redescribed it in 1910, and considered it to be close to, if not the same as, Ankylosaurus.[3]The genus fell into obscurity. Walter Coombs synonymized it with the more famous but equally poorly known Nodosaurus in his 1978 redescription of the Ankylosauria.[4] It was reinstated as a valid genus by Ken Carpenter and James Kirkland (1998), who recognized it as having distinct vertebral and armor characteristics.[2]Tracy Ford took this farther in 2000, assigning it to a new subfamily in Ankylosauridae based on armor characteristics, which he called Stegopeltinae.  Also included was Glyptodontopelta.[5]  This has not been generally accepted, but most recent reviews have accepted Stegopelta as a distinct genus with uncertain affinities.[6][7]       (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});after-content-x4Paleobiology[edit]Because it is so poorly known, at this point all that can be said about the habits and life of Stegopelta is that it was a slow quadrupedal herbivore that fed low to the ground and relied on its armor for defense.[7]Its armor included a fused region over the sacrum, and shoulder spines that may have been split, as seen in Edmontonia.[2]See also[edit]References[edit]^ a b Williston, S.W.
