Falling for the Positively Medieval ‘Ankylosaurus’
Many of our fellow fossils develop a deep and soulful relationship with certain dinos. As a kid (and fan of The Flintstones), I loved the iconic Brontosaurus. And as an admitted alpha female, I’ll always hold dear Tyrannosaurus rex. Lately, though, I’ve been drawn to the quirky and somewhat homely Ankylosaurus. (I’ve always fallen for quirky.) Wielding a tail as powerful as a medieval mace, and sturdily armored, Ankylosaurus has been called a “living tank” by its scores of admirers.
