Q How long could the rod-like spikes along Agustinia’s back grow?

- A About 15 cm (6 inches)
- B About 75 cm (30 inches)
- C About 2 meters (6.6 feet)
B About 75 cm (30 inches)
The back of Agustinia is thought to have been lined with two rows of thick, rod-like projections that reached up to about 75 cm (30 inches) in length.
These structures may have protected its flanks and helped defend it against large carnivorous dinosaurs.
