Dragons and dinosaurs

Ireland (c.900 AD)

Stegosaurus. Copyrighted by Films for Christ.

An Irish writer recorded an encounter with a large beast with “iron” on its tail which pointed backwards. Its head was shaped a little like a horse’s. And it had thick legs with strong claws. These details match features of dinosaurs like the Kentrosaurus (KEN-tro-SOR-us) and Stegosaurus (STEG-oh-SOR-us). They had sharp-pointed spines on their tails, thick legs, strong claws and long skulls.
