Albian

The Albian is both an age of the geologic timescale and a stage in the stratigraphic column.

See Priconodon and Albian

Ankylosauria

Ankylosauria is a group of herbivorous dinosaurs of the clade Ornithischia. Priconodon and Ankylosauria are ankylosaurs.

See Priconodon and Ankylosauria

Aptian

The Aptian is an age in the geologic timescale or a stage in the stratigraphic column.

See Priconodon and Aptian

Armour or armor in animals is a rigid cuticle or exoskeleton that provides exterior protection against attack by predators, formed as part of the body (rather than the behavioural utilization of external objects for protection) usually through the thickening and hardening of superficial tissues, outgrowths or skin secretions.

See Priconodon and Armour (zoology)

Arundel Formation

The Arundel Formation, also known as the Arundel Clay, is a clay-rich sedimentary rock formation, within the Potomac Group, found in Maryland of the United States of America. Priconodon and Arundel Formation are paleontology in Maryland.

See Priconodon and Arundel Formation

Cladistics

Cladistics is an approach to biological classification in which organisms are categorized in groups ("clades") based on hypotheses of most recent common ancestry.

See Priconodon and Cladistics

Dinosaur

Dinosaurs are a diverse group of reptiles of the clade Dinosauria.

See Priconodon and Dinosaur

Early Cretaceous

The Early Cretaceous (geochronological name) or the Lower Cretaceous (chronostratigraphic name) is the earlier or lower of the two major divisions of the Cretaceous.

See Priconodon and Early Cretaceous

Extinction

Extinction is the termination of a taxon by the death of its last member.

See Priconodon and Extinction

Genus

Genus (genera) is a taxonomic rank above species and below family as used in the biological classification of living and fossil organisms as well as viruses.

See Priconodon and Genus

Herbivore

A herbivore is an animal anatomically and physiologically adapted to eating plant material, for example foliage or marine algae, for the main component of its diet.

See Priconodon and Herbivore

Holotype

A holotype is a single physical example (or illustration) of an organism used when the species (or lower-ranked taxon) was formally described.

See Priconodon and Holotype

James I. Kirkland

James Ian Kirkland (born August 24, 1954) is an American paleontologist and geologist.

Kenneth Carpenter (born 21 September 1949, in Tokyo, Japan) is an American paleontologist.

Maryland

Maryland is a state in the Mid-Atlantic region of the United States.

Morphometrics

Morphometrics (from Greek μορϕή morphe, "shape, form", and -μετρία metria, "measurement") or morphometry refers to the quantitative analysis of form, a concept that encompasses size and shape.

Muirkirk, Maryland

Muirkirk is an unincorporated community in northern Prince George's County, Maryland, United States, located between Baltimore and Washington in the central part of the state.

Nodosauridae

Nodosauridae is a family of ankylosaurian dinosaurs known from the Late Jurassic to the Late Cretaceous periods in what is now Asia, Europe, North America, and possibly South America. Priconodon and Nodosauridae are taxa named by Othniel Charles Marsh.

Nomen dubium

In binomial nomenclature, a nomen dubium (Latin for "doubtful name", plural nomina dubia) is a scientific name that is of unknown or doubtful application.

North America

North America is a continent in the Northern and Western Hemispheres.

Potomac Group

The Potomac Group is a geologic group in Delaware, Maryland, New Jersey, and Virginia.

Prince George's County, Maryland

Prince George's County (often shortened to PG County or PG) is a county located in the U.S. state of Maryland bordering the eastern portion of Washington, D.C. As of the 2020 U.S. census, the population was 967,201, making it the second-most populous county in Maryland, behind neighboring Montgomery County.

Quadrupedalism

Quadrupedalism is a form of locomotion where animals have four legs are used to bear weight and move around.

See Priconodon and Quadrupedalism

Stegosaurus

Stegosaurus is a genus of herbivorous, four-legged, armored dinosaur from the Late Jurassic, characterized by the distinctive kite-shaped upright plates along their backs and spikes on their tails. Priconodon and Stegosaurus are Ornithischian genera and taxa named by Othniel Charles Marsh.

Teresa Maryańska

Teresa Maryańska (1937 – 3 October 2019) was a Polish paleontologist who specialized in Mongolian dinosaurs, particularly pachycephalosaurians and ankylosaurians.

See Priconodon and Teresa Maryańska

Tibia

The tibia (tibiae or tibias), also known as the shinbone or shankbone, is the larger, stronger, and anterior (frontal) of the two bones in the leg below the knee in vertebrates (the other being the fibula, behind and to the outside of the tibia); it connects the knee with the ankle.

See Priconodon and Tibia

Timeline of ankylosaur research

This timeline of ankylosaur research is a chronological listing of events in the history of paleontology focused on the ankylosaurs, quadrupedal herbivorous dinosaurs who were protected by a covering bony plates and spikes and sometimes by a clubbed tail. Priconodon and timeline of ankylosaur research are ankylosaurs.

See Priconodon and Timeline of ankylosaur research

Tooth

A tooth (teeth) is a hard, calcified structure found in the jaws (or mouths) of many vertebrates and used to break down food.

See Priconodon and Tooth
