VERIFY:length_max_m: stored=4 suggested=4.4 confidence=medium — The modern redescription of the material gives the lectotype NHMUK R1111 an estimated length of about 4.4 m, and a large subadult referred skeleton (BRSMG LEGL 0004) at 3.9 m, so a 4 m upper bound understates the largest known individual.

VERIFY:period_start_mya: stored=196 suggested=193 confidence=medium — Scelidosaurus specimens come from the Black Ven Mudstone Member (Asteroceras obtusum Zone, upper Sinemurian) with some possibly from the lower Pliensbachian Stonebarrow Marl Member, an interval of roughly 193-190 Ma; a start of 196 Ma places the taxon in the mid-Sinemurian, older than any horizon the literature supports.
