Mymoorapelta was an extremely primitive ankylosaur. It was one of the few living in the Jurassic period. It is usually classified as being in Polacanthidae, but there is some debate, since it is so primitive, whether or not it deserves its own family. The only known species is Mymoorapelta Maysi. It is very closely related to Gargoyleosaurus. The place it is named after, Mygatt-Moore is a quarry where it was found.
