Stegosaurus lived between 155 and 150 million years ago. By that point, the continents had broken apart, and the seas created barriers to land animals. Thus, Stegosaurus never spread to all the continents. Stegosaurus fossils are known from North America, and its relatives, the stegosaurs, have been found in North America, Europe, Asia, and Africa.
