Nodosauridae

Nodosauridae is a family of ankylosauriandinosaurs known from the Late Jurassic to the Late Cretaceousperiods in what is now Asia, Europe, North America, and possibly South America. While traditionally regarded as a monophyletic clade as the sister taxon to the Ankylosauridae, some analyses recover it as a paraphyletic grade leading to the ankylosaurids.
