PaleoJim@paleojim.bsky.social · 5mo agoWorking on describing new polacanthid ankylosaur species from the lower Yellow Cat, basal Cretaceous, Berriasian. Got to playing around with my ilia overview fig. and it got out of control... So I guess, I got a bit more done on our ankylosaur character appendix as well for #FossilFriday.
