ark Mitchell prepares the nodosaur. You can see the bands of little armoured plates (light colour) and the bands of preserved scales of the skin in between (darker). Copyright: Dr Donald Henderson and the Royal Tyrrell Museum of Palaeontology.

Dinoping.
Amazing.
Wow! Thanks for posting!
Ichthyosaur:
Quite a difference and can't see any armor plates.
Nodosaur, on the other hand:
“The least likely type of dinosaur to venture into water would have been a squat, heavily built and armoured, slow-moving anklyosaur.”
“anklyosaur”, so named because he’d only go into the water up to his anklys....
The Royal Tyrrell Musem has the best collection of Dinosaur fossils in the world. It also houses the Burgess shale collection. It is sort of out in the middle of nowhere but if you are up in that area, a visit is well worth the miles.
As I stood viewing one of the full size exhibits, a Stegosaurus, an old gentlemen walked up and after taking in the exhibit said “It’s hard to believe they hunted those with only spears.”
This is cool.
