Kentrosaurus Enamel Pin (Kentrosaurus aethiopicus)
If Stegosaurus was the well-known tank of the Jurassic, Kentrosaurus was its punk-rock cousin with a “more spikes, fewer plates” philosophy.
Discovered in Tanzania and dating to around 150 million years ago, this smaller stegosaur stretched about 4.5 meters long but armed itself with an arsenal of plates along its front and wicked spikes along its back and tail. Those tail spikes—called a thagomizer (thanks, Gary Larson)—were practically built for skewering predators like Allosaurus.
This hard enamel pin captures its sharp silhouette and Jurassic flair in polished metal and enamel—no trip to the Tendaguru Formation required.
Specs:
- Premium metal base with polished hard enamel fill
- Secure clasp so your Kentrosaurus doesn’t “stab its way free”
- Size: 39 x 30.5mm
- Zero risk of poking holes in your backpack
Perfect for stegosaur enthusiasts, spike collectors, and anyone who prefers their plant-eaters a little more weaponized.
