  DINOSAURS: Family Nodosauridae
Nodosaurus is considered to be some of the best known and the best examples to its family.
As it was said, Nodosaurus was massive, it grew almost 5 metres (16.6 feet) in length and weighed more than 2 tons.
Like all the other relatives of Nodosaurus, it too had a small, tiny and narrow head, holding a brain no larger than a chicken egg, but to hold up its large knobs it developed broad shoulders.

 Dinosaurs - Nodosaurus
Nodosaurus ("knobbed lizard") was a herbivorous dinosaur from the Late Cretaceous, the fossils of which are found in North America.
It perhaps ate soft plants, as it would be unable to chew tough, fibrous ones; or alternatively it processed the latter by gastroliths and its enormous intestinal apparatus.
It is thought that without a club on its tail, Nodosaurus was left without much in terms of defense.

Stegopelta, often considered to be a synonym of Nodosaurus, is based on partial cranial and postcranial remains including a partial maxilla, 7 cervicals, 2 dorsals, a fused sacrum, 2 caudals, scapulae, humeri, ilia, armor, and parts of the forelimbs, hands, feet, and lower legs.
It may warrant its own subfamily, Stegopeltinae, or it may be a shamosaurine ankylosaurid.

 Cretaceous Dinosaurs of the Southeastern United States D
According to Fastovsky and Weishampel (1996), Nodosaurus is a nodosaur genus that is "hard to place phylogenetically." They say that Nodosaurus "hovers around a basal relationship with Silvisaurus, Panoplosaurus, and Edmontonia," three of the most advanced nodosaurs.
Eastern North America's nodosaur taxonomic group (Table 1), comprised of nine specimens total, occurs in rocks as old as mid- Santonian in Alabama and earliest Maastrichtian in New Jersey- Delaware-Maryland.
A mid-Santonian migration, from western to eastern areas across the Western Interior Seaway is envisioned to account for Nodosaurus in Alabama and eventually in New Jersey-Delaware-Maryland.

 Re: Ankylosauromorpha page
(*) If that didn't make any sense to anyone, there's a primer at http://www.miketaylor.org.uk/dino/faq/s-class/phyletic/index.html But what Mickey's talking about here implies a sort of node-stem quadruplet: Nodosauridae = stem {Nodosaurus <-- Ankylosaurus, Polacanthus} Polacanthidae = stem {Polacanthus <-- Nodosaurus, Ankylosaurus} Ankylosauridae = stem {Ankylosaurus <-- Nodosaurus, Polacanthus}...
SomeNode = node {Nodosaurus + Ankylosaurs + Polacanthus} (PLEASE, let's not get sidetracked into discussion stuff like whether SomeNode is Ankylosauroidea, or equivalent to Ankylosauria, or whatever.
And no, I am NOT trying to have people consider the name "SomeNode" as published :-) My question is this: if that kind of three-fold splitting of stems is used, don't people feel uncomfortable about the left-over stuff on the stem closest to the root?
