Ankylosaurus [nb 1] is a genus of armored dinosaur.Its fossils have been found in geological formations dating to the very end of the Cretaceous Period, about 68–66 million years ago, in western North America, making it among the last of the non-avian dinosaurs.
English: Size comparison of the ankylosaurid dinosaur Ankylosaurus magniventrus.The silhouette is based on a skeletal by GetAwayTrike. [1] The bone measurements used to scale the specimens come from Carpenter (2004). [2]

Ankylosaurinae is formally defined in the PhyloCode as "the largest clade containing Ankylosaurus magniventris, but not Shamosaurus scutatus". [2] [3] [4] The tribe Ankylosaurini is defined in the PhyloCode as "the largest clade containing Ankylosaurus magniventris, but not Pinacosaurus grangeri and Saichania chulsanensis".
Ankylosauridae (/ ˌ æ ŋ k ɪ l oʊ ˈ s ɔː r ɪ d iː /) is a family of armored dinosaurs within Ankylosauria, and is the sister group to Nodosauridae.The oldest known ankylosaurids date to around 122 million years ago and went extinct 66 million years ago during the Cretaceous–Paleogene extinction event.

With the recent description of Maip, I thought it would be appropriate to make size comparison diagrams for the named dinosaurs of the Chorrillo Formation.All three pages (Isasicursor, Nullotitan, and Maip) are low on images, so perhaps a new version of the skeletal diagrams could be made without the human scale for use on the page.
