Allokotosaurs
Allokotosauria is a clade of early archosauromorph reptiles from the Middle Triassic, Middle to Late Triassic known from Asia, Africa, North America and Europe. Allokotosauria was first described and named when a new monophyletic grouping of specialized herbivorous archosauromorphs was recovered by Sterling J. Nesbitt, John J. Flynn, Adam C. Pritchard, J. Michael Parrish, Lovasoa Ranivoharimanana and André R. Wyss in 2015 in paleontology, 2015. The name Allokotosauria is derived from Greek language, Greek meaning "strange reptiles" in reference to unexpected grouping of early archosauromorph with a high disparity of features typically associated with herbivore, herbivory. History Nesbitt ''et al.'' (2015) defined the group as a stem-based taxon containing ''Azendohsaurus madagaskarensis'' and ''Trilophosaurus buettneri'' and all taxa more closely related to them than to ''Tanystropheus longobardicus'', ''Proterosuchus fergusi'', ''Protorosaurus speneri'' or ''Rhynchosaurus art ...

Azendohsaurus
''Azendohsaurus'' is an extinct genus of Herbivore, herbivorous archosauromorph reptile from roughly the late Middle Triassic, Middle to early Late Triassic, Late Triassic Period of Morocco and Madagascar. The type species, ''Azendohsaurus laaroussii'', was described and named by Jean-Michel Dutuit in 1972 in paleontology, 1972 based on partial jaw fragments and some teeth from Morocco. A second species from Madagascar, ''A. madagaskarensis'', was first described in 2010 in paleontology, 2010 by John J. Flynn and colleagues from a multitude of specimens representing almost the entire skeleton. The Generic name (biology), generic name "Azendoh lizard" is for the village of Azendoh, a local village near where it was first discovered in the Atlas Mountains. It was a bulky quadruped that unlike other early archosauromorphs had a relatively short tail and robust limbs that were held in an odd mix of sprawled hind limbs and raised forelimbs. It had a long neck and a proportionately small ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
