主要差异
- Stegosaurus (9 m, ~5,000 kg) was significantly larger than Kentrosaurus (4.5 m, ~700 kg).
- Kentrosaurus had more spikes and fewer plates than Stegosaurus — its back transitioned from plates to spikes further forward.
- Kentrosaurus had a large shoulder spike providing lateral defense; Stegosaurus lacked a similar shoulder spike.
- Both lived in the Late Jurassic and are stegosaurids, but Stegosaurus lived in North America while Kentrosaurus lived in Tanzania, Africa.
- Their coexistence on different continents is explained by land connections during the Jurassic that allowed faunal exchange.
