When first the massive, low-slung, and armored vanguards also known as "pseudopeltas" or "nodornithopods" were found trundling across the temperate and warm grasslands, forests, and deserts of North America and South America, biologists assumed them to be ankylosaurs, descendants of such great armored creatures like Edmontonia, which roamed North America until shortly before the end of the Cretaceous. Upon closer inspection of the vanguards' internal anatomy, however, it soon became clear that these armored herbivores owed their allegiance to a different branch of herbivorous dinosaurs altogether; the vanguards were not ankylosaurs, but ornithopods.
