Platypelta is an extinct genus of ankylosaurid dinosaurs within the subfamily Ankylosaurinae. It is known from the Late Cretaceous Dinosaur Park Formation (early Late Campanian stage, about 77.5-76.5 Ma ago) of southern Alberta, Canada. The type species is P. coombsi.
Taxonomy
The holotype, AMNH 5337, and the referred specimens AMNH 5403, CMN 8876, ROM 788, and ROM 813, have been usually referred to Euoplocephalus (see Arbour and Currie 2013, who stated that AMNH 5337 is probably Euoplocephalus due to differences from Scolosaurus and Dyoplosaurus in the pelvic region[1]), but Penkalsi (2018) considers AMNH 5337 to be sufficiently distinct from CMN 210, UALVP 31, and AMNH 5406 to be considered a distinct taxon, Platypelta coombsi, whose specific name honors Walter P. Coombs Jr., who pioneered the study of ankylosaurs in the late 20th century.[2]
