The 3 meter Mymoorapelta was among the earliest known nodosaurs. While generally thought of as Cretaceous animals, this one was from the Jurassic, some 150mya…

The loss of Dr. Mike Burns is sad repeatedly encouraged him to get his dissertation published. His section on taxonomy and variation in the nodosaurids for publication with Phil Currie, sadly it was rejected and never resubmitted the manuscript. https://t.co/w7heLSgTd5
