Reconstructed skeleton of Spicomellus ('spiky collar'), certainly one of the most unusual dinosaurs known. Found in the mid-Jurassic El Mers Group of Morocco, it is also the oldest definitive ankylosaur.

Reconstructed skeleton of Spicomellus afer, an armored ankylosaur dinosaur, showing known material on a black silhouette. The holotype specimen (an isolated partial rib) is shown in yellow, with a more complete referred specimen in white. Unknown material is indicated in grey, inferred from surrounding elements and related taxa. The arrangement of many of the osteoderms is speculative. Scale bar=1m.Graphic illustrating the reconstructed skeleton of Spicomellus afer, an armored ankylosaur dinosaur. The smaller two skeletals at the top show known material on a black silhouette; the first shows only the internal bones in light blue, while the second shows only the osteoderms in yellow. Unknown material is indicated in grey, inferred from surrounding elements and related taxa. The arrangement of many of the osteoderms is speculative. The larger bottom diagram shows a hypothetical full skeleton, with a human (~1.8m) for scale. Scale bars=1m.
