Skeletal restoration and various bones of Shringasaurus.. Shringasaurus was a large-bodied quadruped, with an estimated body length of 3–4 metres (9.8–13.1 ft). It closely resembles the related Azendohsaurus, with its small, boxy head on a long neck and a large, barrel-shaped body with deep shoulders and ribs, sprawled to semi-sprawled limbs and a short tail.
Azendohsauridae is a family of allokotosaurian archosauromorphs that lived during the Middle to Late Triassic period, around 242-216 million years ago. The family was originally named solely for the eponymous Azendohsaurus, marking out its distinctiveness from other allokotosaurs, [1] but as of 2022 the family now includes four other genera: the basal genus Pamelaria, the large horned ...
An perissodactyl of this size and weight should probably be rhino-like short-legged, since the animal was graviportal and (at least Megacerops) was not able to run fast (comparable to elephants). That's my opinion about a 90-years old reconstruction, I miss the brontothere research of the past decades here.
I'm very confused about the size of Shringasaurus... the description and described skeletal reconstruction in the paper certainly agrees with the estimate of a total length of 3-4 m, but actually comparing the skeletal elements (skulls and limb bones), it seems that the total length is about 3 m. I don't know if the larger estimation is based ...
Azendohsaurus was a stocky mid-sized reptile estimated to be roughly 2–3 metres (6.6–9.8 ft) long. It had a small, box-shaped head with a short snout on a long neck that was raised above the shoulders.
Size comparison of some species of Edaphosaurus.. Edaphosaurus species measured from 0.5 to 3.5 metres (1.6 to 11.5 ft) in length and weighed over 300 kg (660 lb). [5] In keeping with its tiny head, the cervical vertebrae are reduced in length, while the dorsal vertebrae are massive, the tail is deep, the limbs are short and robust, and the ribs form a wide ribcage.
Size chart of the recently described Balaenognathus and a size chart and skull reconstruction of Forfexopterus (pinging Lythronaxargestes who recently expanded the page). If preferred, I can upload the two skulls as separate images, depending on what works best for the article. -SlvrHwk 01:49, 5 February 2023 (UTC)
Size is an important aspect of dinosaur paleontology, of interest to both the general public and professional scientists. Dinosaurs show some of the most extreme variations in size of any land animal group, ranging from tiny hummingbirds , which can weigh as little as two grams, to the extinct titanosaurs , such as Argentinosaurus and ...
