Struthiosaurus


(pronounced STROO-thee-oh-SAWR-us) Struthiosaurus was a small, armored, quadrupedal, plant-eating dinosaur. Struthiosaurus was about 7 feet (2 m) long) and lived during the very late Cretaceous period, about 83 million-65 million years ago. Struthiosaurus is the smallest-known nodosaurid ankylosaur. This armored Ornithischian had no tail club. Very incomplete fossils have been found in Austria (S. austriacus) and Romania (S. transilvanicus), where is was isolated on small islands during the Cretaceous. It may have been the last of the European nodosauurids. Struthiosaurus was named in 1870 by paleontologist Bunzel.
The type species is S. austriacus.


WARNING: It's descendants were recently spotted roaming in North Denver.

Unique cache container was given to me by a co-worker who thought it would make a great geocache.
It is small, but will hold geocoins and tiny trades, also, bring your own pen.
Once you find and log the cache, look up and across the creek...



...the creatures may be watching you.

Temporarily Disable Listing 08/24/2018 By Heartland Cacher
Greetings I'm Heartland Cacher, one of the volunteer reviewers for new caches submitted to Geocaching.com.

This cache was brought to my attention by one or more of your fellow cachers that think this cache is missing and/or in need of maintenance. I want to thank you for the time that you have taken to contribute to geocaching in the past and I am looking forward to seeing your cache up and running in the future. I'm temporarily disabling it, to give the owner the opportunity to check on the cache, and repair it, if necessary. Cache maintenance includes listing maintenance including updating any changes to the text, updating coordinates, removing needs maintenance attributes and enabling the listing. If the owner feels they will not be able to repair this in a timely manner, let me know, and I'll archive it. This will keep the cache from continually showing up in search lists. It can be enabled once you have made repairs. Please use the “Write Note” feature to leave notes on the cache page. Please do not use the "OWNER MAINTENANCE" log until you do the maintenance and the cache is ready to be found again.


When repairs to this cache are completed and it is time to enable your cache, it will be no problem. You can re-enable the cache page http://support.groundspeak.com/index.php?pg=kb.page&id=235 by clicking the link under the cache name or by checking the box that says the cache is active. You may also drop me a note and let me know the GC waypoint number of the cache or better yet, the URL of the cache page. If a "Needs Maintenance" log was posted, you will also need to log an "Owner Maintenance" log to clear the "Needs Maintenance" icon from the geocache page. http://support.groundspeak.com/index.php?pg=kb.page&id=404

I look forward to hearing from you. Do not reply to this email. It is sent by a no-reply mailbot so I won't get it. To respond, please do NOT send me an e-mail or a message center conversation as they lack needed functionality for reviewing. Leave a new "Reviewer Note" log here on your cache page. If you're not familiar with this process, see the instructions https://www.geocaching.com/help/index.php?pg=kb.chapter&id=97&pgid=74. I have your cache on my watchlist, and I will receive a notification when you write your note.

Additionally, please note that if I've not heard from you in 4 weeks, I may be forced to archive this cache. Don't let your cache get archived for non-communication

Thanks for your understanding,
Heartland Cacher
Your friendly Geocaching.com Reviewer
