  1. A new dinosaur ichnotaxon, Ruopodosaurus clava, has been named by Dr. Victoria Arbour and team. Found near Tumbler Ridge, BC, the tracks likely belong to an unknown ankylosaurid and are identified by having just three toes. This is a rare find that may shed light on the ankylosaurid hiatus in North America.

  2. This #FossilFriday I've been drawing an ankylosaur osteoderm for a team paper I'm working on.

    This fossil specimen from the Jurassic Oxford Clay is in the #NottNatHist museum at #WollatonHall with @GeorgeTheGorilla

    This exploration of #fossils from the #Arctic nations wouldn't be complete without one of the most spectacular #dinosaur fossils ever found that happens to be named for the #North. Borealopelta, meaning "#Northern Shield," is a #nodosaur, a type of #ankylosaur, or #armored dinosaur. This #fossil, uncovered in the tar sands of #Alberta 🇨🇦 and displayed in the #RoyalTyrrellMuseum, preserves much of that armor in incredible detail.

    A new small-bodied ankylosaurian #dinosaur from the Upper #Cretaceous of North #Patagonia (Río Negro Province, #Argentina) tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.108

    #Patagopelta cristata roamed Earth during the Late Cretaceous epoch, between 75 and 70 million years ago. The estimated 2-m body length is very small for an ankylosaur, comparable with the dwarf nodosaurid Struthiosaurus.
