Thyreophora
Thyreophora are the armoured dinosaurs: the name means 'shield-bearer'. It is a suborder of ornithischian dinosaurs.
They are divided into these groups:
- Various early herbivores which could be quadrupedal or bipedal.[1] Examples: the lightly armoured: Scutellosaurus, and Scelidosaurus.
- Ankylosauria
- Ankylosaurids: armoured from their head to their club-ended tail.
- Nodosaurids: no tail club but spikes and bony bumps on body.
- Stegosauria
- Huayangosaurids: an early group from Middle Jurassic of China.
- Stegosaurids: small heads and vertical plates and spines on body and tail. Upper Jurassic, Lower Cretaceous.
