Niobrarasaurus is a Nodosaurid known from the Smoky Hill Chalk Member of the NIobrara Formation in Kansas, which was in the Western Interior Seaway at the time of its deposition, between 87 and 82 million years ago in the Santonian age of the Late Cretaceous. As such, it probably was a body washed out to sea from a land based ecosystem. It was fairly well derived for a Nodosaurid, and probably was closely related to Nodosaurus itself.
