When Did Stegosaurus Live?

Stegosaurus is a genus of herbivorous, four-legged, thyreophorans from the Late Jurassic, characterized by the distinctive upright plates along their backs and spikes on their tails.

What era did the Stegosaurus live in?

This Stegosaurus lived about 150 million years ago during a time in Earth's history called the Jurassic Period.

Why did Stegosaurus go extinct?

Scientists think this was probably because of an asteroid that hit the Earth. The asteroid impact would have made a big change to the Earth's climate and vegetation. Unfortunately, the dinosaurs couldn't adapt to the change of climate and food available after the collision and became extinct.
