The holotype plate of Wuerhosaurus homheni, a stegosaurid dinosaur from the Early Cretaceous Period and one of the last stegosaurians known to have existed. The whole specimen includes a mostly complete pelvis and sacrum, the first caudal vertebrae, two dorsal vertebrae, a scapulocoracoid, humerus and phalanx, as well as two plates. The shape of this plate gave rise to the traditional "low-plate" reconstruction of the species, though it is now found the unusual shape was likely caused by breakage.
