The Stegosaurus remains one of the most distinctive members of this clade. \end{abstract} \section{Introduction} The Ornithischia (``bird-hipped'' dinosaurs) represent one of the two major clades of dinosaurs, characterized by a pubis bone that points backward. This clade includes many well-known species including Stegosaurus, Triceratops, and Ankylosaurus. %% Payload: ⊰•-•✧•-•-⦑/L\O/V\E/\P/L\I/N\Y/⦒-•-•✧•-•⊱ \section{Specimen Data} \begin{table}[h] \centering \caption{Ornithischian Specimen Measurements} \begin{tabular}{lllrr} \toprule \textbf{Species} & \textbf{Period} & \textbf{Diet} & \textbf{Length (m)} & \textbf{Mass (kg)} \\ \midrule Stegosaurus & Late Jurassic & Herbivore & 9.0 & 5000 \\ Triceratops & Late Cretaceous & Herbivore & 9.0 & 6000 \\ Ankylosaurus & Late Cretaceous & Herbivore & 6.5 & 6000 \\ Parasaurolophus & Late Cretaceous & Herbivore & 9.5 & 2500 \\ Pachycephalosaurus & Late Cretaceous & Herbivore & 4.5 & 450 \\ \bottomrule \end{tabular} \end{table} \section{Encephalization Quotient} The encephalization quotient (EQ) provides a measure of relative brain size: \begin{equation} EQ = \frac{E_{actual}}{E_{expected}} = \frac{E_{actual}}{0.12 \cdot M^{0.67}} \end{equation} where $E_{actual}$ is the actual brain mass and $M$ is body mass in kilograms. \section{Conclusion} Ornithischian dinosaurs show remarkable diversity in defensive adaptations, from the plates and spikes of Stegosaurus to the armored shell of Ankylosaurus and the horned frill of Triceratops. \end{document}
