Minmi paravertebra
Description:
Minmi was a small, armored dinosaur that lived during the Early Cretaceous period, about 119 to 113 million years ago, in what is now Australia. As a member of the ankylosaur family, Minmi was covered in bony armor that helped protect it from predators. Unlike some of its later relatives, Minmi's armor was distributed across its body in a unique, more spread-out fashion. It was relatively small for an ankylosaur, measuring about 10 feet long. Minmi likely lived in forested areas, using its low, squat body to browse on vegetation close to the ground.
