Typothorax: The Largest Of The Armored Aetosaurs
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 19 июн 2024
- Typothorax was a heavily armored, wide-bodied reptile that lived before the reign of the dinosaurs. It is the largest known member of Aetosauria, a clade of predominantly herbivorous, terrestrial reptiles distantly related to crocodilians. Although Typothorax was the second aetosaur discovered, it has only been within the last decade that fossils complete enough for a full reconstruction have been discovered.
Thank you to the themattalorian for narrating this video.

Ah yes, The ankylosaur before the other ankylosaur species
Which makes ankylosaurids themselves copycats
Convergent evolution isn’t it wonderful
The ankylosaurs before the dinosaurs
ankylosaur - crocodilian edition
Don't forget the later gliptodont
Never enough videos about the Triassic! For me, it’s the most interesting period of the Mesozoic and this terrific instalment is just another reason to thank you for the utter professionalism and attention to detail you put into every presentation, especially the wonderful illustrations and artwork.❤
Now to find its nemesis, Spellcheckersaurus.
Wasn't Typothorax an ancestor of Autocorrectthorax?
Pseudosuchia is really interesting. Keep up the amazing work!
I did not expect to learn about a species of archosaur that had chastity spikes today
this is like a mix of an armadillo, a pig, and an ankylosaur
Another high quality video. As I have come to expect from you Chimera. Preciate it!
Very interesting material. Also, good narration. Thank you.
I've really been enjoying these Pseudosuchian video's!
"Chastity belt" bruh don't give scalies any more ideas hahaha
Such an amazing and informative video. Keep up the great work!
Do you think it is such a spectacular period when the crocodiles not only ruled the world but also diversified to the point that some of them becoming herbivores like the Aetosaurs?
What an amazing amount of information we can glean from fossils.You've certainly done your homework. A fascinating video on some of my favourite weird prehistoric guys.
I love these obscure orders
Fascinating stuff - thank you very much for providing this!
Great video. Really fascinating and some amazing artwork.
Super interesting video and great narration. Thanks!
Fantastic video, superbly narrated
Thanks for the video!
I’m an undergrad university student currently heading back east from field work at the Chinle Formation (Painted Desert Member) of New Mexico. We found numerous Typothorax specimens.
Spectacular video as always
Awesome video and awesome animals
This species was originally supposed to be called platysthorax (wide thorax), but someone made a typo
Thank you so much. Very interesting
Great video. Thanx.
Great vid
i love sleeping to your videos man, i can feel the dinosaurs crawling into my brain as i slumber.
I dunno, it looks spelled right to me
Great video! So what dangerous predators did this set of armour defend against? Who tried to eat it?
Carnivorous Pseudosuchians like Postosuchus or Smok Wawelski were the apex predators of that time. So most likely those species were the reason for armour like this.
I was wondering the same thing. Presumably there were large, predatory pseudosuchians around. Dinosaurs were too small in the late Triassic to have been a threat.
@@fredbloggs8072 Yes, they would have been too small. There‘s for example this video, where the idea of the armour as a protection from carnivorous pseudosuchians is mentioned: ruclips.net/video/RZnZtTbA37k/видео.html.
Rauisuchians and occasionally phytosaurs, I'd think.
@@davidderubeis7335 They were after the Gorgonopsids but before the rise of large dinosaur predators. Those Rauisuchian predators must have been quite formidable.
the best channel on youtube made another vid..., i like.
greetings bibia
Yup. That's a typo. Gotta fix that typo before uploading.
..a most especislized channel , ever in RUclips!!!
nice!
The great question here is: was Edward Drinker Cope a great drinker?
6:00 I wonder if this developmental plasticity also explains the controversy over Nanotyrannus? Nanotyrannus could represent both mature and immature T. rex 🤔
I can imaging being bit in the cloaca by a phytosaur/rauisuchian would be rather unpleasant.
Ah, Typothorax, the ancestor of the Autocorrectthorax.
I thought Desmatosuchus was bigger? And it looks bigger online
Things have changed as stated in the video
@@majster7072 Oh I see, well I'd like to see more of it be confirmed because of how little the remains were. They even suggested it could be another species related to Typothorax. Still pretty cool to see another large Aetosaur
Another case of convergent evolution
6:55 did they really have sclerotic rings?
Nice coverage but I'm not sure where the idea that Typothorax had a dinosaur ankle came from, the ankle is identical to crocodylians.
They were all Triassic tanks!
Purussaurus next
What predators were present in the Triassic to require this type of armored protection?
Most of the top terrestrial predators of the Late Triassic were pseudosuchians, particularly those belong to the subclade Loricata. They had large, powerful skulls, albeit not to the same extent as those of the Early-Mid Triassic Erythrosuchids, but they were more agile. The largest of these carnivores in Typothorax's environment was the bipedal Postosuchus.
@@chimerasuchus Thank you.
What does the name "Typothorax" mean?
It means “spelled thorax wrong”
@@austinwhittle1427 So, "typo" meaning "spelling" and "thorax" meaning "chest", right?
🐸♡ this creature 🐢🪴
Edward Drinker Cope? 😂
I’ve got some great ideas and some great suggestions for you to make RUclips Videos Shows about some more Prehistoric Extinct Crocodilian Species, such as Lazarussuchus, Plesiosuchus, and Metriorynchus adding that to the episodes on the next Saturday on the next Chimerasuchus coming up next!!👍👍👍👍👍⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
The first typo.
Typorthorax? So these are the beasts responsible for my typos? 😢 😂😅
Crocodile anky tbh
Every time I write the name I get it wrong.
The cloacal spine might interlock with the female’s during mating
I miss the original narrator. His voice was more unique
LOL
@@boobio1 I guess I’m in the minority 😂
Me too🥺
I told him how much I liked his voice & immediately after he started hiring VAs lmfaoo personally I like the nasal quality but that's just me.
Sadly for them they hadn’t invented white out and could never fix their Typos so every written document was a total mess….I mean you trying using a typewriter with massive clunky feet
Triassic is so wild, everything radiating in to craziest forms... Makes the rest of mesozoic pretty boring.
P r o m o s m
0:18 ... sooooo, popo-saurus exists. Are there any pipi, titti or vuvu-saurus too?
Is this an AI voice?
No.
@@chimerasuchusyes it is, A:Awesome I:Incredible
First
Quality research and video. Unrelated, i find it interesting that only men are interested in prehistoric animals, never women who are and interested Louis Vuitton last handbag trend or other materialistic or immediate gratification. That proves the superiority of the male intellect.
There is certainly nothing true in your post after the first sentence.
@@davidderubeis7335 I see from your name that you are not worth a reply.
