| Possible Representation of an Ankylosaur (Public Domain) |
Spicomellus afer hung out in what is now Morocco a mere 168 million years ago. He (she?) was an ankylosaur, meaning a dinosaur with quite a few bony plates.
What’s so unusual about this particular ankylosaur is that its spikes were actually attached to its ribs. This is a first as far as ankylosaur discoveries go!
