Poke bowls have got to be some of the most mood boosting food ever. Every time I eat a poke bowl I’m like this is the best day ever, because I’m having a poke bowl. Every day that I have a poke bowl, I go to bed that night thinking “today was a good day, because I had a poke bowl”

Imagine washing up on Dinotopia and getting a talk saying "unfortunately, you can't escape this island! You'll never go home or see your loved ones ever again" & then while you're crying they say "I'm sorry, you'll just have to live on the island of dinosaur communism for the rest of your life" and you look up through your bleary eyes and go. Wait what

So uh

They found a whole lot of the rest of Spicomellus, aka one of the oldest ankylosaurians

Turns out it's also the spikiest

And apparently sacral shields and tail weapons go all the way back too

Let me once again highlight the fact that this guy has bony spike on its ribs.

to quote the NHM article linked above:

“This is completely unlike any animal living or dead, and raises real questions about how this animal moved,” Susannah explains. “Normally, bones like the ribs are used for muscle attachment, but because of the spikes it’s hard to tell where the muscles could have gone.” “Frankly, we have very little idea about how this dinosaur would have moved at all.”

Like, the extreme spikes on the neck and above hips are one thing, and they hypothesize on their evolutionary origin and relation with other ankylosaurs, but wtf was it doing with a spiky ribs.
