Description: Shamosaurus is the name given to a genus of dinosaur from the Early Cretaceous. It was an ankylosaurid dinosaur from Mongolia.
Shamosaurus scutatus shares many cranial similarities with Gobisaurus domoculus, including a rounded squamosal, large elliptical orbital fenestrae and external nares, a deltoid dorsal profile with a narrow rostrum, quadratojugal protuberances, and caudolaterally directed paroccipital processes. But the two taxa may be distinguished by differences in the length of the maxillary tooth row, an unfused basipterygoid-pterygoid process in Gobisaurus, the presence on an elongate vomerine premaxillary process in Gobisaurus, and the presence of cranial sculpting in Shamosaurus, but not in Gobisaurus

Shamosaurus scutatus shares many cranial similarities with Gobisaurus
domoculus, including a rounded squamosal, large elliptical orbital fenestrae
and external nares, a deltoid dorsal profile with a narrow rostrum,
quadratojugal protuberances, and caudolaterally directed paroccipital
processes. But the two taxa may be distinguished by differences in the length
of the maxillary tooth row, an unfused basipterygoid-pterygoid process in
Gobisaurus, the presence on an elongate vomerine premaxillary process in
Gobisaurus, and the presence of cranial sculpting in Shamosaurus, but not in
Gobisaurus
