Ankylosaurs were preserved in a variety of ways, including burial in sediment, entombment in ash from volcanic eruptions, and preservation in bogs or peat marshes. In some cases, the preservation was so complete that even the skin and other soft tissues were preserved, providing valuable information about the appearance and behavior of these ancient animals.
