The transverse processes of the dorsal vertebrae do not ascend steeply and are instead gradually heightened, similar to the condition in basal ankylosaurs, and differing from that of nodosaurids. <i>Mymoorapelta</i> has 13 ribs, all of which have triangular cross-sections and a weak T-shape, in contrast to other ankylosaurs. <i>Mymoorapelta</i> is also one of the few ankylosaurs with 4 sacral ribs, a trait it shares with only 3 other taxa.<sup id="cite_ref-:2_5-7" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-:2-5"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>5<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-:10_13-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-:10-13"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>13<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup> </p><figure class="mw-default-size mw-halign-right" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Mymoorapelta_maysi.png" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/8/83/Mymoorapelta_maysi.png/220px-Mymoorapelta_maysi.png" decoding="async" width="220" height="73" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/8/83/Mymoorapelta_maysi.png/330px-Mymoorapelta_maysi.png 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/8/83/Mymoorapelta_maysi.png/440px-Mymoorapelta_maysi.png 2x" data-file-width="1578" data-file-height="525" /></a><figcaption><a href="/wiki/Life_restoration" class="mw-redirect" title="Life restoration">Life restoration</a></figcaption></figure> <p>The caudal (tail) vertebrae of <i>Mymoorapelta</i> and other nodosaurids are longer than they are wide, and dorsoventrally (top-bottom) flattened with a reduction of the neural spines when compared to the anterior caudals.

The broader paleoenvironment of the area has been interpreted as a riparian (riverine) ecosystem with abundant flora and a high water table, with the quarry itself having been interpreted as an attritional accumulation of dinosaur fossils at a seasonal waterhole. This has allowed it to become one of the most fossil abundant sites in the United States, with the site notably preserving plants, pollen, coprolites, and even skin impressions preserved alongside dinosaur fossils.<sup id="cite_ref-:14_51-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-:14-51"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>51<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup> The quarry's abundant plant fossils include <a href="/wiki/Equisetum" title="Equisetum">horsetails</a>, cycads, <a href="/wiki/Ginkgoales" title="Ginkgoales">Gingkoales</a>, <a href="/wiki/Czekanowskiales" title="Czekanowskiales">Czekanowskiales</a>, and many different Coniferales represented by leaf, wood, and pollen fossils.<sup id="cite_ref-:1_3-6" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-:1-3"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup> Invertebrates represented in the quarry include <a href="/wiki/Gastropoda" title="Gastropoda">gastropods</a> and, most notably, fossils of fossil <a href="/wiki/Crayfish" title="Crayfish">crayfish</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-:1_3-7" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-:1-3"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup> </p><p>As for vertebrates, three different kinds of fish have been described from the quarry based on fossils of astonishing quality, including <i><a href="/wiki/Hulettia" title="Hulettia">Hulettia hawesi</a></i> and <i><a href="/wiki/Morrolepis" title="Morrolepis">Morrolepis schaefferi</a></i>.
