Description

Cranial anatomy of ankylosaurids, including terminology for ornamentation patterns.

ZPAL MgD II/1, juvenile Pinacosaurus grangeri in A) dorsal and B) left lateral views, showing boundaries of cranial bones. Boundaries between cranial bones are not visible in most adult ankylosaurids. C) UALVP 31, Euoplocephalus tutus, in dorsal view. D) CMN 8530, Anodontosaurus lambei (holotype), in left lateral view.
