Living the Scientific Life (Scientist, Interrupted): Giant Armored Dinosaur Discovered:
The biggest armored dinosaur to be discovered so far was recently found in southern Utah, in a rugged badland just south of Green River.
"It's built like a tank," stated Reese Barrick of the new dinosaur. Barrick is a paleontologist who is the Director and Curator of the College of Eastern Utah (CEU) Prehistoric Museum in Price, Utah. "It will be the largest, heaviest armored dinosaur found on the planet so far."
Estimated to be 25-30 feet long and to weigh 6 tons, this newly discovered animal was adorned with spikes and bony plates along its back and sides, similar to another armored dinosaur that was also found in Utah.
