Dinosaur of the day Denversaurus, a nodosaurid ankylosaur found with over one hundred osteoderms.
Interview with Cameron Pahl, software developer, Research Associate, and Lecturer with Portland State University and Oregon Health & Safety University. He authored the controversial Allosaurus as a scavenger paper, which is really more about how sauropod carrion affected the ecosystem.

- Titanosaur osteoderms might have been useful for defense after all, at least while they were young
