From the Manufacturer
Relatively small among sauropods, though still massive by human standards, it was characterized by a diplodocid-like head with blunt teeth, only in the back of the mouth and was the first discovered with small bony plates embedded in its skin. The bony plates a form of armour called osteoderms have since been found in other titanosaurids, and a crest of scutes has also been discovered, running down the back of diplodocids. When the plates of a saltosaur were originally found, independently of skeletal remains, they were assumed to be from an ankylosaurian, whose plates they resemble.
