Ankylosauridae and their sister group, the [[Nodosauridae]] make up the infraorder [[Ankylosauria]]. They have been found in western [[North America]], [[Europe]] and [[East Asia]]. Good specimens are rare; most are known only from fragments, and bits of their armour. ''[[Scelidosaurus]]'', whose remains had been found in England, was described by [[Richard Owen]] in 1861. Its exact position in the group is still not yet agreed. It was a largely quadrupedal armoured animal from the [[Lower Jurassic]], feeding on low scrubby plants. This is pretty much a description of many dinosaurs in this group. == Taxonomy == * Infraorder '''Ankylosauria''' **Family '''Ankylosauridae''' ***''[[Ahshislepelta]]'' ***''[[Aletopelta]]'' ***''[[Cedarpelta]]'' ***''[[Gobisaurus]]'' ***''[[Minotaurasaurus]]'' ***''[[Shamosaurus]]'' ***''[[Tatankacephalus]]'' ***Subfamily '''Ankylosaurinae''' ****''[[Ankylosaurus]]'' ****''[[Akainacephalus]]'' ****''[[Euoplocephalus]]'' ****''[[Jinyunpelta]]'' ****''[[Nodocephalosaurus]]'' ****''[[Pinacosaurus]]'' ****''[[Saichania]]'' ****''[[Shanxia]]'' ****''[[Talaruru
