The ankylosaurid Tarchia lived during the Late Cretaceous (~70 mya) in eastern Asia. Ankylosaurids were abundant in the Cretaceous faunas in the northern hemisphere where isolated armor plates are commonly found. Entire skeletons of Tarchia have been found in dune deposits. Tarchia was one of the largest Asian ankylosaurids measuring 20–25 feet long

The back of Tarchia, like all of the ankylosaurs, was completely covered in armored plates. These plates protected it from large predators such as tyrannosaurids and dromeosaurs. The skull of Tarchia is thick and robust, measures over a foot wide and a foot long, and has two horn-like protuberances behind the eye. Tarchia had small, leaf-like teeth that suggest that it was an herbivore.
