Tiarajudens: Saber-Toothed Permian Proto-Mammal
Tiarajudens was a distant relative of mammals notable for its long, saber-teeth. Rather than hunt with them, as was done by saber-toothed cats such as the famous Smilodon, Tiarajudens is thought to have used its saber-teeth as display devices and to fight rivals of the same species. Indeed, unlike other prehistoric saber-toothed creatures, Tiarajudens was a herbivore. It lived in Brazil during the middle of the Permian Period, tens of millions of years before the rise of the dinosaurs, and when proto-mammals like it were the dominant terrestrial fauna.

Ibirania: The Exceptionally Small Sauropod Dinosaur From Late Cretaceous Brazil
Переглядів 27 тис.5 місяців тому
Ibirania was an exceptionally small sauropod dinosaur, with an estimated length of only 5.7 meters. Whereas most sauropods of comparable size lived on isolated islands, Ibirania lived on mainland South America. Its discovery has shown that Sauropoda was much more evolutionarily dynamic than previously thought. Thank you to the themattalorian for narrating this video. Sources: www.researchgate.n...
Typothorax: The Largest Of The Armored Aetosaurs
Переглядів 38 тис.5 місяців тому
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 b...
Pseudosuchia: An Overview Of The Prehistoric Relatives Of Crocodilians
Переглядів 339 тис.6 місяців тому
Pseudosuchia is the clade consisting of crocodilians and all the extinct reptiles more closely related to them than to any living species. Beneath this formal definition lays a once dynamic and diverse group reptiles that were far more than simply minor variations of today's crocodilians. Pseudosuchia is one of the two branches of the clade Archosauria, the ruling reptiles. This is the same cla...
Sarcosuchus: The Prehistoric Super Croc

Sarcosuchus was a massive relative of crocodilians which lived in what is now North Africa and South America during the Early Cretaceous Period. This "Super Croc" was so large that it was not only capable of hunting dinosaurs, but was also the largest known predator in its environment. However, young Sarchosuchus had long, thin jaws specialized for catching fish, allowing them to avoid competin...
Pterodaustro: The Spectacular Comb-Toothed Pterosaur

Pterodaustro was a highly unusual pterosaur from Early Cretaceous Argentina. Its skull was filled with numerous long, slender teeth that resembled the baleen of whales. Pterodaustro used these comb-like teeth to filter feed in a manner similar to modern flamingos. Although it was bizarre even when compared to other pterosaurs, Pterodaustro is known from numerous fossils, making it one of the be...

Shunosaurus: The Club Tailed Sauropod Dinosaur

Shunosaurus was a small sauropod dinosaur from Middle and Late Jurassic China. It is notable for possessing a small club at the end of its tail, which like the clubs of the ankylosaurids, was used to ward off attacking theropods. Numerous Shunosaurus skeletons have been found, many of them complete, so despite being one of the strangest sauropods, it is also one of the best understood. Thank yo...
Carnufex: The Prehistoric Carolina Butcher and the Origins of Crocodylomorpha

Carnufex carolinensis, whose name means “Carolina Butcher”, was once the top predator in what is now North Carolina 231 million years ago during the Triassic Period. Carnufex was been critical in understanding the shift in crocodilian evolution from early psudesuchians like the rauisuchians to the smaller, more derived sphenosuchians, which would give rise to the later crocodylomorphs (includin...
Placerias: Giant Triassic Herbivore

It lived during the Late Triassic, a stage of the Mesozoic Era when Synapsida, the stem-mammals, were in decline but before only tiny mammals remained.

Iharkutosuchus was a small relative of crocodilians from prehistoric Europe. While crocodilians are carnivores, Iharkutosuchus had a herbivore. Furthermore, unlike crocodilians, and indeed most other reptiles, it had complex, mammal-like teeth and was able to efficiently chew its food. Iharkutosuchus's fossils are found in the Hungarian Csehbánya Formation, which was formed eighty-five million ...

    why would you say sue and scotty are "exceptional"? We only have a certain number of tyrannosaurus speciemens and two of them are huge. This doesn't even include the "Cope" specimen. There are most likely undiscoveed remains of even larger T rexes and Scotty and Sue are probably representative of fully grown specimens.

      There are a lot of adult T. rex specimens that had stopped growing by the time they died, and they are smaller than Sue and Scotty. They don't seem to have had the T. rex equivalent of gigantism, but they are more indicative of the upper range than the average or median size of an adult Tyrannosaurus.

    Thinking critically on it, I wouldn't be too surprised if plenty of Triassic psuedosuchians had their metabolic rates underestimated. It really doesn't take much of a generic change for a scute to turn into a filament, so I am not going to be entirely shocked if someday somebody finds a lucky skin fossil and shows feathers were more or less basal to Archosauria as a whole.
