As only the tail club of specimen AMNH 5214 is known, the range of variation between individuals is unknown. The tail club of AMNH 5214 is 60 cm (23 + 1 ⁄ 2 in) long, 49 cm (19 + 1 ⁄ 2 in) wide, and 19 cm (7 + 1 ⁄ 2 in) tall. The club of the largest specimen may have been 57 cm (22 + 1 ⁄ 2 in) wide.
Ankylosaurus and its characteristic tail club.. In zoology, a tail club is a bony mass at the end of the tail of some dinosaurs and of some mammals, most notably the ankylosaurids and the glyptodonts, as well as meiolaniid turtles.
Size compared to a 1.8 m tall human. Talarurus was a medium sized ankylosaur, Thomas Holtz and Gregory S. Paul estimated its length at 5–6 m (16–20 ft), Paul gave a weight of 2 t (2,000 kg), [ 9 ] however, Holtz estimated it around 454 to 907 kg (1,001 to 2,000 lb). [ 10 ]
The smallest theropod overall (including avians) is the currently extant bee hummingbird at 6.12 cm long and 2.6g for females, and 5.51 cm long and 3.25g for the males. [42] In the theropod lineage leading to birds, body size shrank continuously over a period of 50 million years, from an average of 163 kilograms (359 lb) down to 0.8 kg (1.8 lb ...
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.

Tarchia was a medium-sized ankylosaur, measuring around 5.5–6 metres (18–20 ft) long and weighing up to 2.5–3 metric tons (2.8–3.3 short tons). [9] [10] If ZPAL MgD I/113 indeed belongs to the genus, it would have belonged to an individual measuring 5.8–6.7 metres (19–22 ft) long.
Ankylosauria is a group of herbivorous dinosaurs of the clade Ornithischia.It includes the great majority of dinosaurs with armor in the form of bony osteoderms, similar to turtles.
This compares to the much larger North American Euoplocephalus, 6–7 m (20–23 ft) in body length, which had teeth averaging only 7.5 mm (0.30 in) across. [7] A fragment from the left dentary (lower jaw bone) preserving these teeth was recovered, which has a curved tooth row like other ankylosaurs'.
