* Species Info:A unique cross of ankylosaur and nodosaur, Gastonia burgei is an armored herbivore first discovered in a bonebed in the lower Cedar Mountain Formation near the turn of the 20th century in 1998 by paleontologist James Kirkland alongside multiple members of its species, as well as other species. Gastonia was also described by Kirkland the same year. Its overall corporal build was heavily armored and spiked, with its tail equipped with rows of sharp spikes that stuck out from the sides of Gastonia's armor, more than likely used as a deterrent or defense from predators. It is speculated that Gastonia was an abundant species during its time, grouping up together or with larger herbivores and foraging on the forest floor or on aquatic vegetation. While not a very well known dinosaur by the public mainstream, Gastonia was a very unique species even amongst other dinosaurs.
* Hunting Tips: While Gastonia are primarily peaceful herbivores that will rely on fleeing if attacked, if approached too closely, they will enter a defensive stance, using the spikes along their tails as their primary weapon of defense. Their armored hides are difficult to penetrate, but their soft underbellies are their fatal flaw. Aim for their vital organs beneath their armor for a quick kill.
