ANKYLOSAUR & NODOSAUR TEETH FOR SALE
Ankylosaurs and nodosaurs were heavily armored, plant-eating dinosaurs that thrived during the Cretaceous period. Both belonged to the group Ankylosauria, known for their low-slung bodies, wide stance, and bony armor plates (osteoderms) that protected them from predators.
Nodosaurs were the earlier and more primitive members, lacking the iconic tail club but featuring large shoulder spikes and extensive body armor. Ankylosaurs, particularly the later ankylosaurids, evolved even more formidable defenses, including the famous tail club—a powerful weapon used for protection and possibly even combat with rivals.
Ankylosaurs and nodosaurs had small, leaf-shaped teeth adapted for a herbivorous diet. These teeth were not built for chewing tough vegetation but were effective for cropping low-lying plants like ferns and cycads.
Nodosaur teeth tend to be slightly more pointed and symmetrical, reflecting their earlier evolutionary position within the group. Ankylosaurid teeth, on the other hand, were generally broader with more pronounced ridges, helping them grind plant material more efficiently as some developed more complex jaw mechanics over time.
