EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the impressive tail club of the Euoplocephalus, an armored ankylosaur dinosaur that roamed the Earth approximately 71 million years ago during the Upper Cretaceous period. Euoplocephalus is a member of the Ankylosauridae family, specifically the Ankylosaurinae subfamily, and is known for its distinctive armor-plated body and the large, club-like structure at the end of its tail. The tail club was formed by the fusion of two bony knobs, providing the Euoplocephalus with a formidable weapon for defense against predators. The Euoplocephalus was part of the larger group of Archosauria, which includes both dinosaurs and their ancestors. More specifically, it belongs to the Diapsida, a diverse group of reptiles characterized by two openings in the skull for the cheek teeth, and the Dinosauria, a subgroup of diapsids that includes all known dinosaurs. The Euoplocephalus is also classified as an Ankylosaur, a type of armored dinosaur, and an Ankylosaurid, a subgroup of Ankylosauria. This fossil was discovered in Alberta, Canada, providing a glimpse into the diverse and fascinating world of the Cretaceous period. The Euoplocephalus, along with other dinosaurs, went extinct at the end of the Cretaceous period, leaving behind a rich record of their existence for us to discover and marvel at. This print is a testament to the incredible history of life on Earth and the wonders that can be found in the natural world.
