Beyond the game
The real Emausaurus
It was an early armored dinosaur. Its Toarcian fossils document a less familiar stage in the group’s history, long before the great ankylosaurs.
Its small beak and leaf-shaped teeth cut vegetation. They offer clues to how this small member of the group fed, adding another side to its story beyond its body armor.
This grouping describes evolutionary relationships. Its members share ancestors; they do not form a chain in which one must turn into another.
