First evidence of an ankylosaur (Dinosauria, Ornithischia) from the Jurassic Qigu Formation (Junggar Basin, NW China) and the early fossil record of Ankylosauria
Osteology and Taxonomy of British Wealden Supergroup (Berriasian–Aptian) Ankylosaurs (Ornithischia, Ankylosauria)
ABSTRACT Ankylosaurs, dinosaurs possessing extensive body armor, were significant components of terrestrial ecosystems from the Middle Jurassic–latest Cretaceous. They diversified during the Early…
A new early-branching armoured dinosaur from the Lower Jurassic of southwestern China
TLDR
An early-diverging thyreophoran from the Lower Jurassic Fengjiahe Formation of Yunnan Province, China is described on the basis of an associated partial skeleton that includes skull, axial, limb and armour elements and can be diagnosed as a new taxon based on numerous cranial and postcranial autapomorphies.

Ankylosaurid dinosaur tail clubs evolved through stepwise acquisition of key features
TLDR
New evidence from mid Cretaceous fossils from China suggests that the evolution of the tail club occurred at least 40 million years earlier, and in a stepwise manner, with early ankylosaurids evolving handle‐like vertebrae before the distal osteoderms enlarged and coossified to form a knob.

A new early branching armored dinosaur from the Lower Jurassic of southwestern China
TLDR
This new taxon, Yuxisaurus kopchicki, represents the first valid thyreophoran dinosaur to be described from the Early Jurassic of Asia and confirms the rapid geographic spread and diversification of the clade after its first appearance in the Hettangian.
The phylogenetic nomenclature of ornithischian dinosaurs
TLDR
The nomenclature of ornithischian dinosaur clades is revised; 76 preexisting ornithischerian clade names are revisited, their recent and historical use is reviewed, and their phylogenetic definitions are formally established.

TLDR
Polacanthus rudgwickensis is larger than Polacanthus foxii, and there are significant differences in the dermal armour, the tibia and caudal vertebrae of the two species.

On the first partial skull of an ankylosaurian dinosaur from the Lower Cretaceous of the Isle of Wight, southern England
Abstract The specimen is identified as the partial cranium of a nodosaurid ankylosaur (Ornithischia: Thyreophora) on the basis of the presence of bone which is fused to the dorsal surface of the…

TLDR
It is possible that the fragmentary nature of the holotype of Euoplocephalus leads to the inference that the diversity of Late Cretaceous North American ankylosaurids is lower than it actually is, and it might be necessary to look beyond traditional cranial characters in order to accurately appraise the number and nature of various ankylassaurid taxa.
