Fixed up the formating abit (cut and pasting from other articles) modified slightly some of the content will be making more additions in the near future.NatDinoMus 24/01/06
- I fixed up some things, such as repeating in the text & un needed paragraph headings. See Ammosaurus, an article of mine for an example of descriptive, but good dinosaur writing... Spawn Man 00:33, 3 February 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Ankylosaurid status for Minmi
A cladistic analysis done by Hill et. al. (2003) unexpectedly nests Minmi within Ankylosauridae. For this reason, transfer Minmi to Ankylosauridae.
