Ankylosaur (Dinosauria, Ankylosauria) foot morphology and an assessment of the function of the limbs and feet
DownloadFall 2011
Morphology and function of ankylosaur dinosaur limbs are explored and analyzed using comparative morphology and finite element analysis. Reconstruction of the forelimb and posture of Pinacosaurus grangeri matches well with trackways attributed to ankylosaurs. A flexed humerus angled away from the...
