MEET STEGOSAURUS SARAH. Stegosaurus Sarah is now called "Stegosaurus Sophie"! This specimen can be viewed in its new home at the London Museum of Natural History.
Described as Stegosaurus armatus, "Sophie" is among the top 3 Stegosaurus in the world and may be the most complete Stegosaurus specimen ever found. This fully prepared, 80%+ complete Jurassic dinosaur was discovered on our private ranch digsite by field paleontologist Bob Simon. The 19-ft. sub-adult specimen was originally named 'Sarah' in honor of the ranchowner's daughter.
4 tail spikes and 18 dermal plates were found - the most dermal plates found for a single specimen to date...view plate and spike detail
Mapping and preparation. After weeks of careful bone mapping, documentation and excavation, the specimen was jacketed, crated and shipped to the highly-respected Sauriermuseum Aathal lab in Switzerland for preparation.
StegosaurusSophie is one of the most complete, well -preserved Stegosaurus to be mounted in a free-standing position.
Near-complete skull. Featuring one of the best, near-complete skulls, Stegosaurus Sarah is missing only the left orbital, left jugal, prefrontals and lachrymals.
The disarticulated but essentially complete skull included 32 loose teeth - no other Stegosaurus skull has been found with so many teeth preserved...view Sarah skull and teeth detail
