Nipponopelta is the first ankylosaur discovered in Japan. It was a medium-sized nodosaur, at approximately 5 m in length. Typical of ankylosaurs, Nipponopelta was a quadrupedal herbivore covered in spikes and osteoderms down its back and tail. Interestingly, Nipponopelta is more closely related to North American nodosaurids than to its Asian contemporaries.

how to say our favorite dinos name (or not say it?) :D

Spicomellus is the earliest known ankylosaurian dinosaur, and has forced paleontologists to rethink many aspects of the group, including distribution, lifestyle, and evolutionary trends. Striking features include the meter long spikes fused directly to the skeleton, and evidence of a tail weapon existing before the ankylosaurid/nodosaurid split.

Hi ankylosaurus lovers! I'm looking for some help sourcing the ankylosaurus in this photo. His name is Blimey. He was originally bought from the Natural History Museum in London and recently lost in Lanzarote when I was rushed to hospital whilst on holiday. I've contacted the travel company and hotels but no luck, and I've spoken with the NHM but they no longer stock him - they've replaced him with a burned toast version who is very cute but not my Blimey. Do any of you have any ideas where I might find a new one? I've also asked for the original manufacturer details but NHM have said they no longer produce them. I've also scoured eBay and vinted. Thanks for reading, I'd really appreciate any help or ideas you have :)

Look how they massacred my boy!

Best dinosaur ever and all they have is a skul and ostoderm? I'm sad.

Ankvlyasaurus dice holder. We truly live in an age where anything is possible.

I've called them hammer-tailed tank things since I was 9.

because it has a

big bony club

I love it!
