  • Scientists represent their plates as rounded and flat. However, they aren't sure about how the plates looked 🤔

  • Palaeontologists believed that Wuerhosaurus and Stegosaurus could be the same dinosaur. Since their bones come from different eras and geographical places, they are considered different dinosaurs.
