They were quadrupedal dinosaurs of medium or large size, herbivorous, with small, leaf-shaped teeth. Unlike ankylosaurs, nodosaurs did not have clubs at the ends of their tails, but had flexible tips instead.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_25234\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-25234\" style=\"width: 1441px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-25234 size-full\" title=\"Illustration of the nodosaur Gastonia burgei\" src=\"https:\/\/dinoshop.ro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Gastonia_burgei_dinosaur.png\" alt=\"Illustration of the nodosaur Gastonia burgei\" width=\"1441\" height=\"671\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dinoshop.ro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Gastonia_burgei_dinosaur.png 1441w, https:\/\/dinoshop.ro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Gastonia_burgei_dinosaur-300x140.png 300w, https:\/\/dinoshop.ro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Gastonia_burgei_dinosaur-1024x477.png 1024w, https:\/\/dinoshop.ro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Gastonia_burgei_dinosaur-768x358.png 768w, https:\/\/dinoshop.ro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Gastonia_burgei_dinosaur-555x258.png 555w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1441px) 100vw, 1441px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-25234\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Illustration of the nodosaur <em>Gastonia burgei<\/em> \u2013 author Mariana Ruiz, <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Gastonia_(dinosaur)#\/media\/File:Gastonia_burgei_dinosaur.png\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Wikipedia<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"attachment_25238\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-25238\" style=\"width: 2560px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-25238 size-full\" title=\"&quot;Mummified&quot;
