Typothorax: The Largest Of The Armored Aetosaurs

  • Опубліковано 5 лип 2024
  • Typothorax was a heavily armored, wide-bodied reptile that lived before the reign of the dinosaurs. It is the largest known member of Aetosauria, a clade of predominantly herbivorous, terrestrial reptiles distantly related to crocodilians. Although Typothorax was the second aetosaur discovered, it has only been within the last decade that fossils complete enough for a full reconstruction have been discovered.

      Carnivorous Pseudosuchians like Postosuchus or Smok Wawelski were the apex predators of that time. So most likely those species were the reason for armour like this.

    What predators were present in the Triassic to require this type of armored protection?

    • @chimerasuchus
      @chimerasuchus  5 місяців тому +3

      Most of the top terrestrial predators of the Late Triassic were pseudosuchians, particularly those belong to the subclade Loricata. They had large, powerful skulls, albeit not to the same extent as those of the Early-Mid Triassic Erythrosuchids, but they were more agile. The largest of these carnivores in Typothorax's environment was the bipedal Postosuchus.
