No, Ankylosaurus is only found in the Hell Creek or Lance formation.

But its a osteoderm from an ankylosaurian dinosaur either an ankylosaurid or Nodosaurid, several species are known in DPF.  About as close as you can come to an ID

I don't think I have anything more to add that Troodon didn't already say.
