摘要
Xiphisternal elements of dinosaurs are only rarely recovered, probably because they seldom ossified and those that did were fragile and easily destroyed. An isolated but relatively complete, right xiphisternal element was collected from the Dinosaur Park Formation of Dinosaur Provincial Park, Alberta. It apparently contacted the left xiphisternal, the sternum, and at least three costal cartilages. Similar in overall morphology to xiphisternals of Edmonronia, Nodasaurus, and Panoplo-saurus, it can be referred to the ankylosaur family Nodosauridae.
