Tall osteoderms lined the back of this unusual sauropod. They seem to have been mobile, a case of parallel evolution with stegosaurs. The samllest were leaf-shaped, while the largest ones were split into halves, each half bearing an outward-pointing spike. Agustinia may be related to titanosaurs or to rebbachisaurids. |
