Its preservation enabled @Brown_Caleb_M to study each & every osteoderm (172!) in detail. This image from his 2017 paper in @PeerJLife really puts that into context!

Happy #FossilFriday this week we revisit an article from Caleb M. Brown from @RoyalTyrrell - “An exceptionally preserved armored dinosaur reveals the morphology and allometry of osteoderms and their horny epidermal coverings”

@Paleofolk @DoubleBeam As mentioned by @DoubleBeam I have a bit of data in my @PeerJ paper about the osteoderms of Borealopelta. I was surprised at how little data I could find for the relative contribution of the horncore/osteoderm vs. the keratinous sheath. https://t.co/97y6B7xRN7 https://t.co/2cqRTbdStr
