Kentrosaurus Size

It can be difficult to estimate the size and weight of any extinct animal such as Kentrosaurus.

The reasons why this may be the case include:
  1. If we only have a few fossils, we don't know whether they fairly represent typical animals.

  2. Fossil specimens are often incomplete.

  3. There can be some doubt about how to reassemble fossil skeletions (indeed in the case of Kentrosaurus, Werner Janensch - who led the expedition that discovered the animal, and assembled the skeletion in the Museum für Naturkunde in Berlin, Germany - did so incorrectly).

  4. Fossils usually preserve only bones, horns, and teeth - at most - so estimates of muscle and other soft-flesh are often speculative.

With these caveats, we can offer these estimates for an adult Kentrosaurus:
  • An adult Kentrosaurus would have been been 15 feet (4.5 meters) and 20 feet (6 meters) long.

  • An adult Kentrosaurus would weighed about 1 ton.
