Description
Gastonia is a genus of nodosaurid dinosaur from the Early Cretaceous of North America, around [147-127] Closely related to Polacanthus, it has a sacral shield and large shoulder spikes. It is also the first polacanthine dinosaur to have been mounted for display at the Denver Museum of Nature and Science, together with the related Gargoyleosaurus. This dinosaur was found in the same quarry as Utahraptor, the largest known dromaeosaurid.
Gastonia made its first appearance in "Raptor's Last Stand", where it fought a Utahraptor during a drought.

This tank-like ankylosaurid dinosaur stood 5 feet tall, measured 5 meters (16.5 feet) long and weighed about 2 tons. It walked on four short stocky legs and its entire body was covered by bony plates and spikes of different sizes and shapes. Gastonia was also the spiniest of all ankylosaurs.
