This is the unspecified version of the paper.This version of the publication may differ from the final published version. Permanent repository link ABSTRACT.A new partial skeleton of the armoured ornithischian dinosaur Polacanthus found in the Wadhurst Clay Formation (Valanginian stage) of Bexhill, Sussex is the oldest recorded occurrence of this taxon. Previous discoveries suggested that at least two armoured ornithischians occur in the Wealden succession: Polacanthus, which was mostly restricted to the Barremian, and Hylaeosaurus, which was recorded as present only in the Valanginian.The new discovery extends the stratigraphic range of Polacanthus into the Valanginian.Although these two taxa appear to be closely similar anatomically, their osteology now suggests they are not synonymous. The new specimen includes the first known jugal as well as a comparatively rare polacanthid plate/spine (splate) which probably comes from the shoulder (pectoral) area of these animals.

“…Uncorrected p values were obtained in PAST (Hammer et al, 2001). Elements of the manus and pes have been described in detail from the collections of the MPC by Currie et al (2011). MPC-D 100/1305 was recently referred by Carpenter et al (2011) to Saichania chulsanensis Maryańska, 1977; however, its assignment to any ankylosaurid taxon is presently equivocal (Arbour and Currie, 2013) and the specimen number is used here without a taxonomic referral.…”

The ankylosaurine Pinacosaurus is one of the best known ankylosaur to date in terms of the number and preservational quality of specimens. Juvenile to sub-adult postcrania collected by the Soviet-Mongolian Paleontological Expedition from the Upper Cretaceous Alagteeg Formation at Alag Teeg, Mongolia can be assigned to Pinacosaurus grangeri based on discrete cranial characters. One individual is significantly larger than the others and demonstrates delayed fusion of postcranial elements with the earliest occurring between dorsal ribs and vertebrae. The robustness of forelimb elements is positively allometric with respect to their length, indicating weight-bearing relationship. Such length-dependent correlations are not seen in the hind limbs. Finally, incipient cervical half rings suggest a developmental pathway of outgrowths from the underlying band combined with fusion of overlying osteoderms.
