Stegosaurus stenops, meaning "narrow-faced roof lizard", was named by Marsh in 1887, [11] with the holotype having been collected by Marshall Felch at Garden Park, north of Cañon City, Colorado, in 1886. This is the best-known species of Stegosaurus, mainly because its remains include at least one complete articulated skeleton. It had ...
Stegosaurus stenops had four dermal spikes, each about 60–90 cm (2–3 ft) long. Discoveries of articulated stegosaur armor show that, at least in some species, these spikes protruded horizontally from the tail, not vertically as is often depicted. Initially, Marsh described S. armatus as having eight spikes in its tail, unlike S. stenops ...
S. armatus is both the first Stegosaurus to be discovered and the type species. [42] Its type specimen is poorly preserved, incomplete, and lacks diagnostic features. [41] It has been considered dubious, with S. stenops as the neotype species for the genus. [41] S. stenops [14] Colorado, Utah and Wyoming, Brushy Basin member [16] [14] [9] [43]
