Ankylosaurus is one of the worlds best known dinosaurs, with its thick armored plating and the iconic tail club.  In spite of its familiarity, it is known from far fewer remains than its closest relatives.   And wait until you find out what's inside Borealopelta! And what's the deal with this thing, was it more like a turtle or more like an armadillo?     New discoveries of the armored dinosaurs continue to shape our understanding of these incredible walking tanks. Let's discover the world's most-died-right-after-lunchingest dinosaur, with the help of our next guest— curator of Dinosaur Systematics and Evolution for the Royal Tyrrell Museum, Dr. Caleb Brown. Here are the Journals:   Arbour, V., Mallon, J. 2017. Unusual cranial and postcranial anatomy in the archetypal ankylosaur Ankylosaurus magniventris. Facets.   Brown, C. M., Henderson, D. H., Vinther, J., Fletcher, I., Sistiaga, A., Herrera, J. & Summons, R. E. (2017). An exceptionally preserved three-dimensional ankylosaur reveals insights into coloration and Cretaceous predator-prey dynamics. Current Biology, 27(16), 2514-2521.​ --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/dwaba/message

On this very special #FossilFriday edition of Dinosaurs Will Always Be Awesome, we teamed up with the Expeditioner's Discovery Guild Enterprise and a bunch of Paleo YouTubers to celebrate our great ancestors -- with #FossilFishFebruary! Because we all know birds are dinosaurs--but what are dinos if not archosaurs? And what are archosaurs if not stem-fish?! And now, with our Neil Shubin level of Cladogymnastics out of the way, meet Keely Sweeney from InStone Fossils who takes us on a journey into deep time and shallow rivers. Turns out the best fishing is still early in the morning or late at night---even if the fish have been dead for 52 million years. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/dwaba/message
