Today I will be doing a 2017 National Geographic magazine entry. Let's begin

Turned to stone: Canada has yielded a well fossilized dinosaur - Borealopelta. How? I will explain. Around 100 million years ago, a Borealopelta probably drowned in a river. The Borealopelta sank to the bottom of the river and got covered by sand, rock and sediment.
Borealopelta had two shoulder spikes, armored plates and was a nodosaur. A nodosaur was an armored dinosaur. However, unlike its close cousins the ankylosaurs, nodosaurs had no tail clubs.
Borealopelta was 18 feet long and 7 feet tall. Also Nodosaurus probably went up to 7.5 kilometers per an hour.
Conclusion: I conclude that Borealopelta was a middle - sized dinosaur. It was also fast for a dinosaur its size. And that it was a powerful stocky dinosaur.
