Ankylosauria was first described by [|Henry Fairfield Osborn] in 1923. In the [|Linnaean classification] system, the group is usually considered a suborder or an infraorder. It is contained within the group [|Thyreophora], which also includes the stegosaurians, armored dinosaurs known for their combination of plates and spikes.
 * Ankylosauria** is a group of [|herbivorous] [|dinosaurs] of the order [|Ornithischia]. It includes the great majority of dinosaurs with [|armor] in the form of bony scutes, although many of them had other types of armor as well. Ankylosaurs were bulky [|quadrupeds], with short, powerful limbs. They are first known to have appeared in the early [|Jurassic Period] of [|China], and persisted until the end of the [|Cretaceous Period]. They have been found on every continent except [|Africa]. The first dinosaur ever discovered in [|Antarctica] was the ankylosaurian //[|Antarctopelta]//, fossils of which were recovered from [|Ross Island] in 1986.
