About the Stegosaurus "Thagomizer":Stegosaurus stenops lived during the Late Jurassic period in North America (approx. 155–150 million years ago, Morrison Formation). The distinctive arrangement of four spikes at the tip of its tail—informally termed the "thagomizer"—served as an active, devastating defensive weapon capable of piercing the armor and bones of apex predators such as Allosaurus.
