1. Paul Barrett:

   Stegosaurus was actually an animal that could get up to 9 metres in length and weigh several tonnes, this is the average size tooth for a Stegosaurus; pretty tiny with a business end, the crown, that's really only a few millimetres across. So using these very tiny feeble teeth to fuel that big body has always been a bit of a mystery.

2. Susannah Maidment:

   It's exciting because it helps us understand how stegosaurs gradually acquired the features of their iconic body plan, bashanosaurus didn't have the giant plates extending along its back like Stegosaurus had ; instead it had much smaller, spine-like( armor), that arguably would have been more useful for defending itself against predators than the very thin but very flashy( armor) of Stegosaurus, which might have been more about display.

3. Paul Barrett:

   Finding one as complete as this, where only the left arm and base of the tail are missing, is exceptional, it's the only stegosaurus in the world that's anywhere near this complete. So it's an amazing find.

4. Randall Gabrel:

   That's what I believe, i put (the stegosaurus statue) up there because I think it draws attention, and I think the best evidence supports that position. I'm willing to put my money where my mouth is. I'm willing to stand by my beliefs.
