1. ankylosaur

   Ankylosauria is a group of herbivorous dinosaurs of the order Ornithischia. It includes the great majority of dinosaurs with armor in the form of bony osteoderms, similar to turtles. Ankylosaurs were bulky quadrupeds, with short, powerful limbs. They are known to have first appeared in the Middle Jurassic, and persisted until the end of the Cretaceous Period. The two main families of Ankylosaurs, Nodosauridae and Ankylosauridae are primarily known from the Northern Hemisphere, but the more basal Parankylosauria are known from southern Gondwana during the Cretaceous. Ankylosauria was first named by Henry Fairfield Osborn in 1923. In the Linnaean classification system, the group is usually considered either a suborder or an infraorder. It is contained within the group Thyreophora, which also includes the stegosaurs, armored dinosaurs known for their combination of plates and spikes.

1. ankylosaur

   Ankylosaur is a type of herbivorous dinosaur characterized by its heavily armored body and its club-like tail. The name Ankylosaur, or "fused lizard", is derived from their unique skeletal structure in which several bones in their skull and other parts of the body are fused, increasing their strength. They belong to the family Ankylosauridae, a group of four-legged animals that lived during the late Jurassic to late Cretaceous period.

Examples of ANKYLOSAUR in a Sentence

1. Randy Johnson:

   I never thought that I would have the opportunity to actually work on fossils that could be important for paleontologists, now that I'm Randy Johnson, I'm getting the opportunity to work on a large variety of fossils and consult with top paleontologists -- it's like a dream second career. I couldn't believe it when they told me they are naming the ankylosaur after me, a once in a lifetime honor.

2. Victoria Arbour:

   The spikes running all the way down Zuul's tail were a fantastic surprise to me -- like nothing I've ever seen in a North American ankylosaur, it was the size and shape of the tail club and tail spikes, combined with the shape of the horns and ornaments on the skull, that confirmed this skeleton was a new species of ankylosaur.
