The Giving of December. Pawpawsaurus

  Not a lot can be said about Pawpawsaurus because so far it is only known by a skull.‭ ‬However,‭ ‬another nodosaur from the Paw Paw Formation is Texasetes‭ (‬which includes post cranial remains‭)‬,‭ ‬which has been suggested as being a synonym to Pawpawsaurus.‭ ‬If this is true,‭ ‬then the current Pawpawsaurus fossil material,‭ ‬will be attributed to Texasetes since that genus was named first.‭ ‬Till then,‭ ‬Pawpawsaurus has been considered to be related to Silvisaurus,‭ ‬Sauropelta and Cedarpelta.
