| rdfs:comment | - Gastonia was a small ankylosaurid which lived in North America during the Early Cretaceous period (about 125 MYa). It was first discovered by Robert Gaston, after whom it is named, just fifty yards from the skeleton of a Utahraptor. There were also puncture holes on the leg bones of the Utahraptor, suggesting that the Gastonia had wounded or killed the raptor.
- Gastonia is an extinct monster first introduced in Monster Hunter Frontier: New World 6.0. It is the lost, thought to be extinct relative of both Aptonoth and Apceros that appears randomly in some quests in G-Rank.
- Gastonia is a genus of nodosaurid dinosaur from the Early Cretaceous of North America, around [147-127] Closely related to Polacanthus, it has a sacral shield and large shoulder spikes. It is also the first polacanthine dinosaur to have been mounted for display at the Denver Museum of Nature and Science, together with the related Gargoyleosaurus. This dinosaur was found in the same quarry as Utahraptor, the largest known dromaeosaurid. Gastonia made its first appearance in "Raptor's Last Stand", where it fought a Utahraptor during a drought.
- The type specimen of Gastonia burgei (CEUM 1307) was discovered in a bonebed of the lower Cedar Mountain Formation in Grand County, Utah. The bonebed contained the fossil remains of other Gastonia, as well as an iguanodontid and the type specimen of a large carnivorous theropod, Utahraptor. Gastonia is among the most common dinosaur fossils in the Cedar Mountain Formation.[1] Gastonia was formally named and described by James Kirkland in 1998, from the holotype specimen and other fossil material recovered beginning in 1989. The name Gastonia honors US palaeontologist Rob Gaston. The species G. burgei was named for the director of the College of Eastern Utah Prehistoric Museum, Donald L. Burge.

The bonebed contained the fossil remains of other Gastonia, as well as an iguanodontid and the type specimen of a large carnivorous theropod, Utahraptor. Gastonia is among the most common dinosaur fossils in the Cedar Mountain Formation.[1] Gastonia was formally named and described by James Kirkland in 1998, from the holotype specimen and other fossil material recovered beginning in 1989. The name Gastonia honors US palaeontologist Rob Gaston. The species G. burgei was named for the director of the College of Eastern Utah Prehistoric Museum, Donald L. Burge. Gastonia burgei, was found in rocks of the Cedar Mountain Formation's Yellow Cat Member, which has been dated to the Barremian, 126 million years ago.[2] The holotype is CEUM 1307, a skull of an adult individual. Many hundreds of additional disarticulated bones have been uncovered, from the Gaston Quarry and the Dalton Wells Dinosaur Quarry (nl). In 1998, these included remains of at least five individuals. In 2004, the number of skulls was reported as four,[3] in 2014 this had risen to ten. A second species, G. lorriemcwhinneyae, was described from the Ruby Ranch Member in 2016 based on a large bonebed, probably formed when a group died of drought or drowning. All together, more complete material exists for Gastonia than for any other basal ankylosaur.[6] A wealth of disarticulated material from a bonebed presents problems as it can be hard to tell how many spikes a particular Gastonia actually had. In the late twentieth century a skeleton was mounted made of polyurethane casts of skeletal elements of various individuals. Distortions in the fossils were corrected and missing elements completed. This made Gastonia the first basal ankylosaurian dinosaur to have been mounted for display at the Denver Museum of Nature and Science, together with the related Gargoyleosaurus.
