 With multiple well @-@ preserved skeletons , S. stenops preserves all regions of the body , including the limbs . The scapula ( shoulder blade ) is sub @-@ rectangular , with a robust blade . Though it is not always perfectly preserved , the acromion ridge is slightly larger than in Kentrosaurus . The blade is relatively straight , although it curves towards the back . There is a small bump on the back of the blade , that would have served as the base of the triceps muscle . Articulated with the scapula , the coracoid is sub @-@ circular . The hind feet each had three short toes , while each fore foot had five toes ; only the inner two toes had a blunt hoof . The phalangeal formula is 2 @-@ 2 @-@ 2 @-@ 2 @-@ 1 , meaning the innermost finger of the fore limb has two bones , the next has two , etc . All four limbs were supported by pads behind the toes . The fore limbs were much shorter than the stocky hind limbs , which resulted in an unusual posture . The tail appears to have been held well clear of the ground , while the head of Stegosaurus was positioned relatively low down , probably no higher than 1 m ( 3 @.@ 3 ft ) above the ground .
