Naming person....Meyer/1837 Plateosauridae Late Permian/8mlong/Germany France Switzerland @ Plateosaurus was a anchisaurid-type of the prosauropods. "Flat lizard" was one of the prosauropods, which were perhaps the anchestors of the sauropods, the largest dinosaurs ever to walk the Earth. Plateosaurus had a small head, long neck, bulky body, huge thumbclaws, and large, powerful hind legs. Plateosaurus's tail, however, was deep, and the narrow skull larger, stronger, and taller than that of Anchisaurus, with a deeper, snout and more teeth. A ridge on the lower jaw, below the level of the tooth row,anchored the powerful muscles that worked the lower jaw. |
