They are the [[Family (biology)|family]] of ankylosaurs which do not have club-shaped tails. They often have [[spike]]s protecting their head and [[shoulder]]s. All nodosaurs, like other ankylosaurs, are medium-sized to large, heavily built [[quadruped]]al [[herbivorous]] [[dinosaur]]s, with small denticulate teeth and rows of [[osteoderm]]s (a type of [[armour]]) on the dorsolateral (top and sides) surfaces of the body. ==Classification== ===Taxonomy=== The following taxonomy follows Thompson ''et al.'', 2011 unless otherwise noted.<ref name=ThompsonEtAl>{{Cite journal |author=Richard S.
