"Jurassosaurus nedegoapeferkimorum" is officially named _Tianchisaurus
nedegoapeferima_ and is provisionally classified as an ankylosaurid
(Jurassic, of course). _Minmi_ is still classified as a nodosaurid, but
Ralph's new, as yet undescribed specimen seems to indicate a separate family
for the genus is warranted. But it may also be a derived scelidosaurid.
