About
You Voted For Iguanodon
Iguanodon is one of the most popular and most well known of all the dinosaurs. Living on the Earth for tens of millions of years, Iguanodon was also one of the most successful dinosaurs.
Iguanodon was discovered and named in 1825 by Gideon Mantell. Mantell named the animal Iguanodon, which means "iguana-like teeth," because the fossils he found were teeth that looked like those of a modern day iguana. Mantell thought they probably belonged to a long extinct lizard. At this time dinosaurs had still not been recognized. In 1878 while working in a coal mine, workers discovered an incredible set of fossils representing over 30 individual iguanodons.
Iguanodon was a large plant-eating dinosaur that probably was able to run on two legs as well as stoop down and run on all fours.
The front of Iguanodon's beak-like mouth was toothless.

About
Lexovisaurus
Some plated dinosaurs are believed to have had shoulder spikes protruding from their shoulder blades. However, because these spikes were attached to the skin and not to the animal's skeleton, there is no way to prove definitively how the spikes were attached, as the skin has long since decayed in any fossil remains.
Lexovisaurus was a medium-sized plated dinosaur that lived near modern day France and England. Many well preserved fossils of Lexovisaurus have been found in this region.
It was named in 1957 by Robert Hoffstetter after the ancient Gaelic people who lived in the same region.
