#FossilAdventCalendar Day 16
#FossilFriday
This exploration of fossils from the #Arctic nations wouldn't be complete without one of the most spectacular #dinosaur #fossils ever found that happens to be named for the #North. Borealopelta, meaning "#Northern Shield," is a #nodosaur, a type of #ankylosaur, or #armored dinosaur. This #fossil, uncovered in the tar sands of #Alberta and displayed in the #RoyalTyrrellMuseum, preserves much of that armor in incredible detail.
