#ankylosaur — Public Fediverse posts

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.

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.
