  • Allokotosauria is a clade of early archosauromorph reptiles from the Middle to Late Triassic known from Asia, Africa, North America and Europe. Allokotosauria was first described and named when a new monophyletic grouping of specialized herbivorous archosauromorphs was recovered by Sterling J. Nesbitt in 2015. The name Allokotosauria is derived from Greek meaning "strange reptiles" in reference to unexpected grouping of early archosauromorph with a high disparity of features typically associated with herbivory.

    Did anyone notice that these creatures look remarkably like the “dinosaurs” in movies of the 1950’s and 1960’s that were lizards and alligators with horns and other features attached?

    The Triassic was like the Permian, except reluctantly giving everything slightly longer legs and maybe chambered stomachs. Then the rules changed again and everything got longer and taller and faster, because the Earth has clearly been trying to kill all life since the moment it showed up. Lol

    It makes me wonder what they could have evolved into if it wasn't for the Carnian Pluvial Event (CPE) that made them all go extinct. Also, I'm glad there are some videos about paleontology out there where the narrator doesn't speak in that irritating manner we're familiar with from PBS Eons and similar channels, and goes a little deeper than just basic surface knowledge.
