Summary

DescriptionTarchia SIZE.jpg	English: Size comparison between specimens attributed to the ankylosaurian dinosaur Tarchia and a human. From left to right: green silhouette is based on the skull from PIN 3142/250 (40 cm. long). Brown silhouette are based on on the remains from ZPAL MgD I/113 (with a black silhouette of its tail club in dorsal view. It should be noticed, however, that it is questionable whether this specimen actually belongs to the genus Tarchia).^[1] The blue silhouette is based on a skeletal diagram of MPC-D 100/1353 (holotype of the species T. tumanovae) published in 2021.^[2] References ↑ Arbour V.M. et.al.
