Whilst on a short visit to Berlin, we took the opportunity to admire and photograph the bas-relief Stegosaurus on display at the Berlin Aquarium building.  The building was built between 1911 and 1913.  At the time, the various murals and sculptures depicting prehistoric animals were cutting edge.  However, after more than a hundred years our

Stunning 150-million-year-old stegosaur skull rewrites dinosaur evolution
fossil Dacentrurus Dinosauria Stegosauria discovery evolution skull
A spectacular dinosaur discovery in Spain is giving scientists a rare new look inside the world of stegosaurs. Paleontologists uncovered the best-preserved stegosaur skull ever found in Europe, belonging to the iconic plated dinosaur Dacentrurus armatus, which roamed Earth around 150 million years ago. Because stegosaur skulls are extremely fragile and almost never survive intact, the fossil is helping researchers uncover previously unknown details about how these armored giants evolved.
