Scelidosaurus partially sea-dwelling. Owen had not indicated a holotype. In 1888, Richard Lydekker while cataloguing the BMNH fossils, designated some of the hindlimb fragments described in 1861, specimen BMNH 39496 consisting of a lower part of a femur and an upper part of the tibia and fibula, together forming a knee joint, as the type specimen, hereby implicitly choosing them as the lectotype of "Scelidosaurus". Lydekker gave no reason for this choice; perhaps he was motivated by their larger size. Unfortunately, mixed in with the "Scelidosaurus" fossils had been the partial remains of a theropod dinosaur and the femur and tibia
Tibia fusus Tibia fusus Tibia fusus, common name Spindle tibia or Shinbone Tibia Gastropod, is a species of large sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Strombidae, the true conchs. This species is widespread in Western Indian Ocean and Western Pacific, from Indochina, China Sea, southern Japan and the Philippines to the Banda Sea, Indonesia, Australia and Oceania. Most "Tibia fusus" live in tropical offshore waters where there is plenty of sand, at depths of 5 to 50 m. The shells of "Tibia fusus" can reach a length of (including the long siphonal canal), with a typical length of 23
