* Kingdom Animalia (animals)
* Phylum Chordata (having a hollow nerve chord ending in a brain)
* Class Archosauria (diapsids with socket-set teeth, etc.)
* Order Ornithischia - bird-hipped, herbivorous, quadrupedal dinosaurs
* Suborder Thyreophora (Enoplosauria) - armored dinosaurs
* Suborder Ankylosauria - plated and armored over most of the body
* Family Nodosauridae (a group of smaller, primitive ankylosaurs with no tail clubs; it included Hylaeosaurus, Edmontonia, Sauropelta, Silvisaurus, Nodosaurus, Panoplosaurus, etc.).
* Genus Acanthopholis
