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].
Plateosaurus is a basal (early) sauropodomorph dinosaur, a so-called "prosauropod". As of 2011, two species are recognized: the type species P. engelhardti and the slightly earlier P. gracilis . Discovered in 1834 by Johann Friedrich Engelhardt and described three years later by Hermann von Meyer , Plateosaurus was the fifth named dinosaur ...
The Melanorosauridae were a family of sauropodomorph dinosaurs which lived during the Late Triassic and Early Jurassic.The name Melanorosauridae was first coined by Friedrich von Huene in 1929.
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.
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 ...
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.
