Paleontology nerd here. There isn't an official term for the tail spikes, but thagomizer is pretty much an unoffcial official term.
Well, whats the official term? If its just tail spikes I will be very disappointed
I think they just said there isn't an official term
Oh I'm an absolute buffoon, I thought he said THAT isn't the official term
Haha no worries at all :)
ok but what's the official term?
Pretty much. Thagomizer is used in literature, but not always. I would say it is officially recognized, but semi-officially used
