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 ...
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.
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.
The Vietnamese Wikipedia initially went online in November 2002, with a front page and an article about the Internet Society.The project received little attention and did not begin to receive significant contributions until it was "restarted" in October 2003 [3] and the newer, Unicode-capable MediaWiki software was installed soon after.
Massospondylidae, which was first named by Huene in 1914, is a stem-based taxon.It was defined by Sereno as all animals more closely related to Massospondylus carinatus than to Plateosaurus engelhardti and Saltasaurus loricatus.
Sauropodomorpha (/ ˌ s ɔːr ə ˌ p ɒ d ə ˈ m ɔːr f ə / [3] SOR-ə-POD-ə-MOR-fə; from Greek, meaning "lizard-footed forms") is an extinct clade of long-necked, herbivorous, saurischian dinosaurs that includes the sauropods and their ancestral relatives.
