Dinosaur of the day Aegyptosaurus, a sauropod from Egypt which like Spinosaurus was mostly lost to science in Munich during WWII.

Ankylosaurus is the longest, heaviest, and widest ankylosaur. But those aren't the only details that make Ankylosaurus such a special dinosaur.

Some of the papers we cover that we didn't discuss back in Episode 5:

  • Original paper describing Ankylosaurus & Ankylosauridae by Barnum Brown from 1908
  • How ankylosaurid tails evolved by Arbour & Currie
  • Ankylosaurid tail posture, club sizes, and uses by Coombs (including the shin bashing & head butting hypotheses)
  • Redescription of Ankylosaurus by Arbour & Mallon with its overall tank-like proportions
