Reading A New History of Life by Ward and Kirschvink. Was unaware that low oxygen levels correlate with increased disparity, while high oxygen levels correlate with increased diversity. Hence the high disparity of the Cambrian and Triassic.

Today’s is Desmatosuchus spurensis Case 1921, an aetosaur from the southwest. It was a one of the largest with shoulders spikes measuring ~50 cm. The diet is his unknown, but it could have been the largest herbivore of NA in the L Triassic

F is for Fasolasuchus (B in this pic), a very distant croc-relative from the Triassic of Argentina. It’s in a messy part of the tree we sometimes lump together and call “Rauisuchians.”

The Triassic sure was full of weird critters.

Hyperodapedon looked like a huge herbivorous tuatara, but was in fact more closely related to dinosaurs and crocs. I gave it a generous amount of soft tissue including ’lips’ and a gecko-like fat tail.

It's hard to pick an underappreciated prehistoric animal, since that would actually be most of them.

Here's one I learned about recently that I previously never heard of- Silesaurus. It lived during the Triassic period in what is now Poland/central Europe.

It is done. We used a rynchosaur instead of a rabbit to be at least a little more accurate to the Triassic.
