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].
May be a nomen dubium [305] or belong to the genus Plateosaurus, [302] several hip bones were described with the rest of the holotype which have been lost [305] Gryponyx africanus: SAM 3357-3359 [36] Iziko South African Museum: Sinemurian: Upper Elliot Formation, South Africa: Most of the hips and hind limbs, both hands, and some vertebrae [36]
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 ...
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 ...
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.
He was born in Frankfurt am Main.In 1832, Meyer issued a work entitled Palaeologica, and went on to publish a series of memoirs on various fossil organic remains: molluscs, crustaceans, fishes and higher vertebrata, [1] including the Triassic predator Teratosaurus, the earliest bird Archaeopteryx lithographica (1861), [2] the pterosaur Rhamphorhynchus, and the prosauropod dinosaur Plateosaurus.
Friedrich von Huene born Friedrich Richard Freiherr von Hoyningen-Huene (22 March 1875 – 4 April 1969) was a German nobleman paleontologist who described a large number of dinosaurs, more than anyone else in 20th-century Europe.
