Comprehensive morphology-based phylogenetic analysis of sampled Ankylosauria, with poor resolution in parts of Nodosauridae explicitly retained.
Claim ledger
topology · mediumAnkylosauria is represented by the taxa in Thompson and colleagues’ morphology matrix; recovery of major armoured-dinosaur branches and poor nodosaurid resolution are study results, not a resolved ancestor chain or exact range.
