Plateosaurus is a member of a group of early herbivores known as "prosauropods". [29] The group is not a monophyletic group (thus given in quotation marks), and most researchers prefer the term basal sauropodomorph. [46] [47] Plateosaurus was the first "prosauropod" to be described, [29] and gives its name to the family Plateosauridae as the ...
Plateosauridae is a family of plateosaurian sauropodomorphs from the Late Triassic of Europe, Greenland, Africa and Asia. [1] [2] Although several dinosaurs have been classified as plateosaurids over the years, the family Plateosauridae is now restricted to Plateosaurus, Yimenosaurus, Euskelosaurus, and Issi [3].

Unusually for a dinosaur, Plateosaurus showed strong developmental plasticity: instead of having a fairly uniform adult size, fully grown individuals were between 4.8 and 10 metres (16 and 33 ft) long and weighed between 600 and 4,000 kilograms (1,300 and 8,800 lb). Commonly, the animals lived for at least 12 to 20 years, but the maximum life ...
Pachysauriscus was originally named Pachysaurus by Friedrich von Huene in his 1908 monograph on Triassic dinosaurs from Europe. [1] Two nominal species were described in the 1908 monograph, the type species P. ajax and P. magnus.
Mounted skeletons of Tyrannosaurus (left) and Apatosaurus (right) at the AMNH. Dinosaurs are a diverse group of reptiles of the clade Dinosauria. They first appeared during the Triassic period, between 243 and 233.23 million years ago, although the exact origin and timing of the evolution of dinosaurs is the subject of active research.
Plateosauravus ("grandfather of Plateosaurus") is a basal plateosaurian of uncertain affinities from the Late Triassic Elliot Formation of South Africa. Sidney Haughton named Plateosaurus cullingworthi in 1924 from a partial skeleton, [1] type specimen SAM 3341, 3345, 3347, 3350–51, 3603, 3607. The specific name honoured collector T.L ...
