† Edmontonia longiceps is a nodosaurid ankylosaur from the Late Cretaceous (Maastrichtian) Horseshoe Canyon and Lance Formations of the United States and Canada. Its species name longiceps ('long head') reflects its relatively elongated skull compared to E. rugosidens. Approximately 6 m long, it was a low-browsing herbivore protected by extensive body armour and large shoulder spikes. It represents the stratigraphically latest and among the largest of the Edmontonia species.
Dieta e Alimentação
Edmontonia longiceps era um dinossauro herbívoro. Os herbívoros geralmente se alimentavam de samambaias, cicas, coníferas e outra vegetação disponível em sua época. Muitos dinossauros herbívoros desenvolveram dentes e sistemas digestivos especializados para processar material vegetal resistente.
Período
Edmontonia longiceps viveu durante o período Cretaceous Late da Era Mesozoic, aproximadamente de 100,5 a 66,0 milhões de anos atrás.
A era final dos dinossauros, com espécies icônicas como Tyrannosaurus rex, Triceratops e Velociraptor. Os dinossauros atingiram sua máxima diversidade antes do impacto catastrófico do asteroide na cratera de Chicxulub encerrar a Era Mesozoica.
