List of thyreophoran type specimens

This list of thyreophoran type specimens is a list of fossils serving as the 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 which 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.
