The plates were translucent and the rim of the plates was blueish-green. Stegosaurus was primarily green and yellow with dark green splodges. This made Stegosaurus different from its relative Kentrosaurus, who had paired spikes throughout the entire length of its tail and on its back. The spikes were slightly curved in shape. Near the tip of its tail were two pairs of sharp thagomizers. The hind limbs of Stegosaurus were thick and were far larger than its front limbs.ĭown the vertebrae of Stegosaurus were spinal plates (or osteoderms) which ran down its neck until near the end of its tail. It had a small head with relatively small eyes and a blunt beak for a mouth.
