The best-preserved fossil of a nodosaur fossil on record was found in Alberta , Canada .

It was so well preserved that scientists were able to determine the strength of the armor.

The armor is so strong, it could withstand more force than predators of its time could deliver.

This suggests that the armor may have also been used during fights between males vying for female mates.
