675:, the upper jaws, were 11.9 centimetres (4.7 in) long and contained about eighteen small teeth on each side. The outside of the maxilla was covered by a large loreal osteoderm, overlapping the snout edge. A large lacrimal plate is present behind it. The rim above the eye socket has two osteoderms, each forming a separate peak as with Asian ankylosaurids. The rear edge of the skull is ornamented by small osteoderms, oriented somewhat to the midline and gradually increasing in size towards the outside of the skull. The squamosal horns on the back corners of the skull were very high, thick and forward-curving. The shape of the cheek horns is unknown because of damage inflicted during the fossilisation process. 2665: 780: 731: 638: 457: 2660: 150: 129: 2688: 746:, scutes of bone that sit inside of the skin. Apart from the osteoderms that are part of the skull, two cervical halfrings were present to protect the upper side of the neck and rows of oval scutes probably ran along the back and sides of the torso; the latter are only known as detached specimens. All osteoderms found have a surface that is densely pitted but lacks veins. 628:

At the underside of the skull, the paired front praemaxillae form a bony secondary palate, with a concave surface. Each praemaxilla is pierced by two foramina. Both elements are at the snout tip separated by a gap, ending about thirty-five millimetres in front of the tip of the narrow and flat

the segments consisted of osteoderms that were in-between an oval and a rectangular shape. These osteoderms were keeled, featuring a high cutting edge. The osteoderms were between 146 and 169 millimetres long, between 58 and 104 millimetres wide and their keels varied between 2.4 centimetres

Several unconnected osteoderms have been discovered. One of these might originally have been part of a halfring. A second one was seen as originating from the pectoral, upper breast, region. A third, measuring 118 by 68 millimetres, had a narrow keel and the shark fin shape typical of the

The cervical halfrings of ankylosaurids typically consisted of six fused segments each, that were paired per side: one at the top, a second segment at the upper side and a third one at the lower side. These segments were fused to an underlying continuous bone ring. In
