Tarchia was a genus of ankylosaurid dinosaur from the late Cretaceous of Mongolia.
Facts[]
It is currently the geologically youngest known of all the Asian ankylosaurid dinosaurs and is represented by five or more specimens, including two complete skulls and one nearly complete post-cranial skeleton. It was discovered in the Upper Cretaceous (possibly Campanian-Maastrichtian) Barun Goyot Formation (previously known as the 'Lower Negmet Beds') of the Negmet Basin of Mongolia. It had a bony tail club, like many ankylosaurids.
