A detailed histological study of Antarctopelta oliveroi, from the Upper Cretaceous of Antarctica, is performed in order to increase our knowledge of the ankylosaur bone histology and its taxonomical and paleobiological implications. The main goals of this contribution are: to infer the ontogenetic s...
