Ankylosaur (ˈæŋkɪləˌsɔr)

Definition of ankylosaur in English:

ankylosaur

NOUN

(also ankylosaurus)
A heavily built quadrupedal herbivorous dinosaur primarily of the Cretaceous period, armored with bony plates.

Origin
Early 20th century from modern Latin Ankylosaurus, from Greek ankulos (see ankylosis) + sauros ‘lizard’.

Pronunciation
ankylosaur
/ˈaNGkiləˌsôr/ /ˈæŋkɪləˌsɔr/
‘Skeletons range from twelve-foot remains of the armored dinosaurs known as ankylosaurs, with almost every piece of bony plate intact, to two-inch skeletons of early mammals, complete down to their fragile, microscopic ear bones.’
‘These were the fragmentary remains of an armored dinosaur, an ankylosaur.’
‘Birds did not evolve from massive sauropods or antediluvian, tanklike ankylosaurs or even from the large tyrannosaurs.’
‘Living at the same time as Utahraptor was a dinosaur that belonged to the tanklike armadillo shaped ankylosaurs called Gastonia.’
‘Most recently, a new ankylosaur was named on the basis of an incomplete mandible and fragmentary cranial material, but the ankylosaurian affinities and validity of this taxon are doubtful.’
‘These early ankylosaur or glyptodont analogues often had widely-flared skulls, ornamented with irregular blobs of bone, looking like half-melted wax.’
