What is the impact force of the Ankylosaurus tail club?
Alvrr.0 posted a topic in Questions & Answers
I've heard many times that the Ankylosaurus tail club is capable of breaking bones, and it certainly looks capable of doing so. However, is there any estimate in numbers that represents the force this weapon could exert?- 2 replies

From the album: Invertebrates and plants(& misc.)
Debris, including micro glass "beads" from melted earth ejected into the air, from the KT boundary burn layer. Garfield county, Montana, Hell Creek formation. Late cretaceous (duh) *i added "misc." to this album because this didn't fit anywhere, and I thought it was really cool and should definitely be included somewhere. **There could even be vaporized dinosaur material as part of the glass and melted debris included. There definitely was plenty of it, but I guess realistically, unless it became evenly spread into the atmosphere and airborne debris, this is too small an amount of ejecta, and by percentage such a minuscule amount of vaporized dino, so sadly there probably isn't any. -
Pachybelemnopsis cf. canaliculata (Schlotheim, 1820)
oilshale posted a fossil in Coleoids (Belemnites, Squid)
shocked / brecciated Belemnite from the Nördlinger Ries asteroid impact. For more information about the Nördlinger Ries and shocked Belemnites: http://www.impact-structures.com/impact-germany/the-ries-impact-structure-germany/deformations/ Pachibelemnopsis canaliculata is lower or middle Callovian - the type species is from the Ornatenton Formation, Ottingen. This belemnite may not actually be the same species if it's Bajocian, but should be closely related.- 3 comments
