PNSO Judith the Spiclypeus
A Shield-Headed Standout from the Late Cretaceous
Spiclypeus was a striking ceratopsian dinosaur that lived around 76 million years ago in what is now Montana. Its name, meaning “spiked shield,” refers to the unique arrangement of horns and spikes that adorned the edge of its frill. A close relative of more famous dinosaurs like Triceratops and Chasmosaurus, Spiclypeus combined defense and display, with a broad skull and prominent brow horns that made it instantly recognizable. The fossil evidence suggests this dinosaur lived in floodplain environments alongside other iconic North American fauna of the Late Cretaceous.
