An exceptionally preserved armored dinosaur reveals the morphology and allometry of osteoderms and their horny epidermal coverings
Although the evolution and function of “exaggerated” bony projections in ornithischian dinosaurs has been subject to significant debate recently, our understanding of the structure and morphology of their epidermal keratinized coverings is greatly limited. The holotype of Borealopelta, a new nodosau...
