List of thyreophoran type specimens
This list of thyreophoran type specimens is a list of fossils that serve as official standard-bearers for inclusion in the species and genera of the dinosaur clade Thyreophora, which includes the armored ankylosaurs and the plate-backed spike-tailed stegosaurs. Type specimens are those that are definitionally members of biological taxa, and additional specimens can only be "referred" to these taxa if an expert deems them sufficiently similar to the type.
