If you meant nodosaurids (ankylosaurs), then a more recent analysis with additional nodosaurids that I just published had the Argentinian nodosaurid in a clade with Edmontonia, Panoplosaurus, and Texasetes.Victoriahttp://pseudoplocephalus.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7128085831047923286.post-62320149835170755222016-03-16T01:54:55.318-04:002016-03-16T01:54:55.318-04:00Hola, quisiera saber como podria ser el aspecto de...Hola, quisiera saber como podria ser el aspecto del noasaurido descubierto en rio negro argentina y con que otros miembros estaria relacionadoAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11196646329630690894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7128085831047923286.post-28745339605018779752015-09-02T22:51:13.941-04:002015-09-02T22:51:13.941-04:00Thanks for the comment and questions!

I had thought about naming the Mongolian clade Saichaniini, but with only three taxa at the moment I thought it might be a bit premature and/or unnecessary. I certainly wouldn't be opposed to me (or someone else) erecting it in the future if additional species are described!<br /><br />Ankylosaurus is definitely one of the biggest ankylosaurs (and almost certainly the chunkiest, if not the longest), and that's one project I'm working on at the moment. There are some pretty big Mongolian ankylosaurs out there, although none of them can be confidently referred to Tarchia anymore.Victoriahttp://pseudoplocephalus.blogspot.canoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7128085831047923286.post-48598419469111484742015-08-30T11:07:19.744-04:002015-08-30T11:07:19.744-04:00Great work, I'm glad to see your work (and the...Great work, I'm glad to see your work (and the posts) on my favourite dinosaurs, the ankylosaurines.<br />I would like to ask why didn't you name "Saichaniini", is it because you have doubts on the position of Pinacosaurus or that the group is too small to warrant a definition now?<br />I would also want to ask something else, on the size of ankylosaurines. In the 90s there was some "consensus" in the internet (it's one of those things someone starts and no one knows the source) and I think in the Dinosauria 1st edition that Pinacosaurus was 4-6 m, Euoplocephalus and Saichania 6m, Tarchia 8 m and Ankylosaurus 10.6 m. So I was surprised when Carpenter estimated Ankylosaurus to be 6.25 m.<br />From the material of Ankylosaurus it looks by far the biggest ankylosaurine, although Carpenter said the vertebrae were roughly the same as those of Euoplocephalus size-wise, so maybe it had different proportions. As I thought Euoplocephalus was well known I assumed the 6 m estimation by "someone" was accurate. So either Ankylosaurus has weird proportions (big head and limbs) or we have to downsize the other ankylosaurines (or Ankylosaurus is somewhat bigger than Carpenter estimated).<br />All this to ask what your impressions on the sizes of ankylosaurines as you worked with the material. Is Ankylosaurus in the 6m range and the others in the 4-5m range? Saichania looks smaller than the 6 m and I don't know why Tarchia was thought to be 8 m long.<br /><br />Thanks and sorry for the long comment/questionsCâmarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00060558604922942769noreply@blogger.com
