Dacentrurus - Lingzhen (Haolonggood)

The Haolonggood Dacentrurus - Lingzhen model captures the essence of this armored dinosaur. The figure is colored in a lush orangish/brown, with detailing that brings out the texture of the skin, the bony plates along the back, and the distinctive spikes on the tail, known as a thagomizer.

The Lingzhen model showcases the stegosaur's characteristic double row of plates, which were likely used for display, thermoregulation, or defense. Its pose, with legs in a walking stance and the tail slightly raised, reflects the living dynamics of Dacentrurus, providing an educational glimpse into its movement and potential defensive behavior. 

The Lingzhen model encapsulates the known anatomical features of Dacentrurus, which include a relatively large size, and a wide pelvis and robust build, elements that are subtly reflected in the model's dimensions and sculpting.

The Haolonggood Dacentrurus Lingzhen measures:
9" L x 3" H.

Dacentrurus is the name of a genus of herbivorous dinosaur that lived during the Late Jurassic period, approximately 154 to 153 million years ago. It was a member of the group of dinosaurs known as stegosaurs, which are characterized by their distinctive double row of bony plates along their backs and the spikes on their tails.

 

Dacentrurus was a relatively large dinosaur, with an estimated length of around 16 to 23 feet. Like other stegosaurs, Dacentrurus had a row of large, bony plates along its back, known as dorsal plates. These plates were arranged in pairs and extended down its spine. One of the most notable features of Dacentrurus was its tail, which ended in a cluster of sharp spikes, known as the thagomizer. These spikes were likely used for defense against predators.

 

Dacentrurus was a herbivore, which means it primarily ate plants. Its teeth were adapted for chewing plant material, and it likely fed on ferns, cycads, and other vegetation that was common during the Late Jurassic. Fossils of Dacentrurus have been found in Europe, particularly in England and France.
