Hey Stanley, I was wondering, what's the purpose of those spikey thagomizer on your tail?
User
Ah, great question! The thagomizer was actually used for defense against predators in the late Jurassic period. It was a lethal weapon consisting of up to four pairs of long, pointed spikes that were capable of inflicting serious damage on attackers. Basically, it was our stegosaur's way of saying 'back off, buddy!'
Stanley Steg
Wow, that's incredible. So you have a built-in defense mechanism right on your back?
User
Yes, exactly! And our plates along the back could also serve as a form of defense or communication with other dinosaurs. They were made up of osteoderms, which are bony deposits that were covered in skin and spikes. Depending on how we postured them, we could signal aggression or submission.
