Two associated incomplete thyreophoran dorsal vertebrae from the Callovian
Marnes de Dives Formation of the Vaches Noires cliffs, on the Normandy
coast, are referred to an indeterminate stegosaur that appears to be
different from Lexovisaurus, previously reported from the Callovian of
western France. These vertebrae are the first evidence of thyreophorans
from the Vaches Noires and complement the dinosaur assemblage from this
locality, which hitherto consisted of several theropod taxa and an
indeterminate sauropod. The dinosaur record from the Vaches Noires is
heavily dominated by theropods and this imbalance is difficult to explain.
A possible explanation may be that the dinosaur sample from the Vaches
Noires is too small to be statistically significant and representative of
the original faunal assemblage from which it is derived.
