  • Lystrosaurus Group

    A group of Lystrosaurus is settled about a stream embankment in South Africa during the early Triassic, some 245 million years ago. A small, meter-long dicynodont, Lystrosaurus was a survivor of the Permian extinction, continuing this group of mammal-like reptiles into the Triassic. Fossil remains of Lystrosaurus are found in Antarctica and South America, as well as South Africa, indicating that these three continents were once gathered into a single landmass during the late Permian and early Triassic.

  • Doswellia, Richmond Basin

    The image depicts a tropical, late Triassic flora of the Richmond Basin rift zone in Virgina, some 225 million years ago. Various plants include the fern Clathopteris, the cycads Sphenozamites, Ctenophyllum and Macrotaeniopteris, the tree ferns Cyathoforma and Todites and various conifers. Doswellia, a crocodile-like pseudosuchian, basks on the opposite shore of a small stream as the small cydondont Boreogomphodon crosses a nearer fallen tree fern stalk.

  • Lagosuchus and Probelesodon

    The little thecodont Lagosuchus stands motionless an understory of ferns beneath a seed fern, hiding from a searching Probelesodon. Probelesodon was a cynodont, an advanced mammal-like reptile. The scene is in South America during the Middle Triassic, some 230 million years ago. The thecodonts were an advanced group of reptiles widespread in the early Mesozoic and Lagosuchus shows anatomical features suggesting an evolutionary link to early dinosaurs.

Phytosaurs became extinct at the end of the Triassic and their aquatic mode was adopted by crocodiles in the Jurassic--up to today.

    A large Rutiodon lithodendrorum, a phytosaur, rests in a lowland freshwater environment of Petrified Forest National Park in Arizona during the late Triassic, some 225 million years ago. The small leaping dinosaurs are Reveultosaurs--or were. This little dinosaur was thought present among the Chinle fauna of Petrified Forest on the interpretation of some fossil teeth found in the park 25 years ago. More recently, however, the teeth have been determined to belong to a species of aetosaur (a non-dinosaur thecodont armoured reptile). So POOF!, Reveultosaurus has ceased to exist and this illustration is itself now a remnant fossil of an old, extinct idea. Otherwise, the image fairly represents the Triassic flora of Petrified Forest NP, including large conifers, various tree ferns, ferns, horsetails and cycads.

  • Phytosaur and Fabrosaurs
    A large Rutiodon, a phytosaur, lumbers down a dry stream channel as small dinosaurs, Fabrosaurs, pass by.  In the early 1980's, fossil teeth found in Chinle sediments of Petrified Forest were identified as those of a small dinosaur named Fabrosaurus.  Decades later, the teeth were determined to have come from a species of aetosaur, an armored thecodont.
