Comments Representatives of the Ankylosauria: A) the polacanthid Gargoyleosaurus, B) the nodosaurid Sauropelta and C) the ankylosaurid Euoplocephalus. The characteristic features include a low, wide skull with remodeled surface or small pieces of armor fused to it, and a completely modified pelvis to accommodate a wide gut.

389 Skeleton of Gastonia
Scientific Name Gastonia
Location North America
Comments Skeleton of Gastonia, the best known polacanthid from the Early Cretaceous of North America. Characteristic features of the polacanthids include the absence of a tail club, laterally projecting spines along the neck, laterally projecting thin scutes along the sides of the body, and sacral armor fused into a shield.

553
Scientific Name Scelidosaurus, Thescelosaurus, Stegosaurus, Euoplocephalus
Comments Pelvis of Scelidosaurus in top and side view (A), compared with that of a more "primitive", bipedal ornithischian Thescelosaurus (B), Stegosaurus (C) and the ankylosaur Euoplocephalus (D). Note that in side view, the pelvis of Scelidosaurus retains the primitive ornithischian appearance (most similar to that of Thescelosaurus in side view). However in top view, the pelvis is more like that of the ankylosaur Euoplocephalus. The horizontal expansion of the entire ilium (upper pelvic bone) is a uniquely ankylosaur character. In Stegosaurus, only a part of the ilium is expanded horizontally.

1512 Front view of the mounted skeleton of Edmontonia
Location Dinosaur Park Formation, Dinosaur Provincial Park, Alberta, Canada
Comments Front view of the mounted skeleton of Edmontonia (American Museum of Natural History). The outward projecting spines make the individual look wider and larger than it really was. This indicates that display, rather than defense, may have been a major feature of armor.
