The various species of drepanosaurid were characterized by specialized grasping limbs and often prehensile tails, adaptions for arboreal (tree-dwelling) and fossorial (digging) lifestyles, with some having also been suggested to be aquatic. Fossils of drepanosaurs have been found in Arizona, New Mexico, New Jersey, Utah, England, and northern Italy. The name is taken from the family's namesake genus ''Drepanosaurus'', which means "sickle lizard," a reference to their strongly curved claws. Description Drepanosaurs are notable for their distinctive, triangular skulls, which resemble the skulls of birds. Some drepanosaurs, such as '' Avicranium,'' had pointed, toothless, bird-like beaks. This similarity to birds may have led to the misattribution of what may be a ... <a href="/html/ALL/s/E/Elyurosaur.html" style="text-decoration:none;"> <br>[...More Info...] &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp <a href="/html/ALL/l/E/Elyurosaur.html" style="text-decoration:none;"> [...Related Items...] &nbsp &nbsp <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elyurosaur" target=_blank style="text-decoration:none;"><b> OR:</b> &nbsp &nbsp [Wikipedia] &nbsp </a> <a href="https://www.google.com/search?q=Elyurosaur" target=_blank style="text-decoration:none;"> [Google] &nbsp </a> <!-- <a href="https://www.bing.com/search?q=Elyurosaur" target=_blank style="text-decoration:none;"> [Bing] &nbsp </a> --> <!-- <a href="https://search.yahoo.com/search?q=Elyurosaur" target=_blank style="text-decoration:none;"> [Yahoo] &nbsp </a> --> <!-- <a href="https://duckduckgo.com/?q=Elyurosaur" target=_blank style="text-decoration:none;"> [DuckDuckGo] &nbsp </a> --> <a href="https://www.baidu.com/s?wd=Elyurosaur" target=_blank style="text-decoration:none;"> [Baidu] &nbsp </a> <!-- <a target="_blank" href= "https://www.amazon.com/best-sellers-books-Amazon/zgbs/books?&linkCode=ll2&tag=summaryads-20&linkId=d306a27d115d3acda99952aa20527cd6&language=en_US&ref_=as_li_ss_tl" style="text-decoration:none;">[Amazon Books]</a> --> </div> <br></a></a> <br> </div> <!-- data-end ---></td> <!-- row-end ---></tr> <!-- row-start ---><tr; > <!-- data-start ---><td width="15%"><p> <a href="/html/ALL/s/V/Vallesaurus.html" title="Click for more on -> Vallesaurus"> <span><br><div><script src="/js/AdvertListPict.js"></script></div><br></span> </p> <!-- data-end ---></td> <!-- data-start ---><td valign="top"; width="75%"; > <div style="margin-left:0%; margin-right:9%";> <!-- <a href="/php/SummaryGet.php?FindGo=Vallesaurus" title="Click for more on -> Vallesaurus"><big>Vallesaurus</big><br> </a> ---> <div style="margin-left:2%";> <big><big><b><a href="/html/ALL/s/V/Vallesaurus.html" style="text-decoration:none;">Vallesaurus</a></b></big></big><br> ''Vallesaurus'' is an extinct genus of Late Triassic elyurosaur drepanosauromorph. First found in Northern Italy in 1975, it is one of the most primitive drepanosaurs. ''V. cenenis'' is the type species, which was first mentioned in 1991 but only formally described in 2006. A second species, ''V. zorzinensis'', was named in 2010. Discovery The first specimen of ''Vallesaurus cenensis'', MCSNB 4751, was found in 1975 by the staff of the Museo Civico di Scienze Naturali of Bergamo, Italy. The genus was named in respect of professor Valle, the former director of the museum. The species, on the other hand, was named after a local municipality called Cene, which was neighboring the site where the fossil was excavated. The specimen was given to palaeontologist Rupert Wild to study at the Staatliches Museum of Stuttgart, Germany. Wild briefly mentioned "Vallesaurus cenensis" in 1991, but without describing it formally or identifying the holotype specimen.

It is preceded by the Middle Triassic Epoch and followed by the Early Jurassic Epoch. The corresponding series (stratigraphy), series of rock beds is known as the Upper Triassic. The Late Triassic is divided into the Carnian, Norian and Rhaetian Geologic time scale, Ages. Many of the first dinosaurs evolved during the Late Triassic, including ''Plateosaurus'', ''Coelophysis'', and ''Eoraptor''. The Triassic–Jurassic extinction event began during this epoch and is one of the five major mass extinction events of the Earth.

It was preceded by the Norian and succeeded by the Hettangian (the lowermost stage or earliest age of the Jurassic). The base of the Rhaetian lacks a formal GSSP, though candidate sections include Steinbergkogel in Austria (since 2007) and Pignola-Abriola in Italy (since 2016). The end of the Rhaetian (and the base of the overlying Hettangian Stage) is more well-defined. According to the current ICS (International Commission on Stratigraphy) system, the Rhaetian ended ± 0.2 Ma ( million years ago). In 2010, the base of the Rhaetian (i.e. the Norian-Rhaetian boundary) was voted to be defined based on the first appearance of '' Misikella posthernsteini'', a marine conodont. However, there is still much debate over the age of this boundary, as well as the evolution of ''M. posthernsteini''.

A beak is used for eating, preening, manipulating objects, killing prey, fighting, probing for food, courtship, and feeding young. The terms ''beak'' and '' rostrum'' are also used to refer to a similar mouth part in some ornithischians, pterosaurs, cetaceans, dicynodonts, anuran tadpoles, monotremes (i.e. echidnas and platypuses, which have a beak-like structure), sirens, pufferfish, billfishes and cephalopods. Although beaks vary significantly in size, shape, color and texture, they share a similar underlying structure. Two bony projections – the upper and lower mandibles – are covered with a thin keratinized layer of epidermis known as the rhamphotheca. In most species, two holes called ''nares'' lead to the respiratory system.

Birds have whose development varies according to species; the only known groups without wings are the extinct moa and elephant birds. Wings, which are modified forelimbs, gave birds the ability to fly, although further evolution has led to the loss of flight in some birds, including ratites, penguins, and diverse endemic island species.

Anatomy ''Megalancosaurus'' was fairly small, its adult length was only about 25 centimeters (10 inches). It was built like a chameleon and probably lived a similar arboreal lifestyle, feeding on insects and other small animals. Even its feet were chameleon like, with two toes being opposed to the remaining three. The tail is long, prehensile, and bears a strange claw-like organ made of fused vertebrae at its end. Its shoulders formed a withers that would have served as an attachment site for especially strong muscles. Some specimens have an opposable digit on the feet.

In the hierarchy of biological classification, genus comes above species and below family. In binomial nomenclature, the genus name forms the first part of the binomial species name for each species within the genus. :E.g. '' Panthera leo'' (lion) and '' Panthera onca'' (jaguar) are two species within the genus ''Panthera''. ''Panthera'' is a genus within the family Felidae. The composition of a genus is determined by taxonomists. The standards for genus classification are not strictly codified, so different authorities often produce different classifications for genera.
