This is not necessarily in contradiction to the above statement, but if this Antarctic ankylosaur is MLP 86-X-28-1 from James Ross Island, Gasparini et al. (1996) believe it's a nodosaurid and NOT related to _Minmi_.

MLP 86-X-28-1: Fragmentary skeleton, including partial mandible, teeth, vertebrae (cervical, dorsal, ?sacral, caudal), fragments of scapula and ilium, pedal elements, dermal armour (five types).

Locality: Santa Marta Cove, James Ross Island, Antarctica.
Horizon: Gamma Member, Santa Marta Formation (late Campanian).
