NHMUK R1111 preserves extensive anatomy, but preparation losses and inferred keratin/placement remain explicit.
Lectotype NHMUK R1111 preserves skull, jaws, much of the postcranium and associated osteoderms; armour arrangement is directly constrained where association survives, whereas a keratinous covering, biology and stem-ankylosaur placement are comparative interpretations.
claim:event:scelidosaurus-r1111-dermal-skeletonThe Thyreophora route uses the revised Scelidosaurus lectotype and morphology analysis as one sampled armoured-dinosaur anchor; its placement is not a direct ancestor, complete clade range or fixed historical grade.
claim:taxon:thyreophoraScelidosaurus is anchored by lectotype NHMUK R1111 and associated Early Jurassic Dorset material; those specimens do not define a complete genus duration or a thyreophoran first appearance.
