Typothorax: The Largest Of The Armored Aetosaurs

[@jelk1188]

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.❤

[@aruraven]

Pseudosuchia is really interesting. Keep up the amazing work!

[@Daniel_Ho_Status_101]

Now to find its nemesis, Spellcheckersaurus.

[@backalleycqc4790]

Wasn't Typothorax an ancestor of Autocorrectthorax?

[@TheAnimalKingdom-tq3sz]

Ah yes, The ankylosaur before the other ankylosaur species

[@BassFish111]

Which makes ankylosaurids themselves copycats

[@BassFish111]

Convergent evolution isn’t it wonderful

The ankylosaurs before the dinosaurs

Another high quality video. As I have come to expect from you Chimera. Preciate it!

[@michaelturner2806]

This video came up in my recs just under something troubling that I feel worse just knowing it exists. I just found your channel a day or two ago and wasn't sure how to tackle your back catalog yet So when I saw this under the other thing I was like, yay, a sign that I should forget that other thing and learn more from the cool pseudosuchian guy Thank you!

[@thelaughinghyenas8465]

Very interesting material. Also, good narration. Thank you.

[@kennethsatria6607]

I did not expect to learn about a species of archosaur that had chastity spikes today

[@vollavolt1712]

I've really been enjoying these Pseudosuchian video's!

[@AmazingYutyrannus]

Such an amazing and informative video. Keep up the great work!

[@mymom1462]

this is like a mix of an armadillo, a pig, and an ankylosaur

[@johngr1747]

Should be nicknamed "Ankylodillo"... I'll see myself out

[@origaminosferatu3357]

Thanks for the video!

[@rivenc9394]

Fantastic video, superbly narrated

[@petrairene]

Great video! So what dangerous predators did this set of armour defend against? Who tried to eat it?

[@markus260]

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.

[@fredbloggs8072]

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.

[@markus260]

@@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: kzbin.info/www/bejne/iIvRi6eKl6Zmbc0.

[@davidderubeis7335]

Rauisuchians and occasionally phytosaurs, I'd think.

[@petrairene]

@@davidderubeis7335 They were after the Gorgonopsids but before the rise of large dinosaur predators. Those Rauisuchian predators must have been quite formidable.

[@jamesabernethy7896]

Great video. Really fascinating and some amazing artwork.

[@dalesajdak422]

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

[@lerneanlion]

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?

[@ecurewitz]

Thank you so much. Very interesting

[@Boogie_the_cat]

Yup. That's a typo. Gotta fix that typo before uploading.

[@Juderino]

i love sleeping to your videos man, i can feel the dinosaurs crawling into my brain as i slumber.

[@jeffreywilliams3421]

This species was originally supposed to be called platysthorax (wide thorax), but someone made a typo

[@rursus8354]

The great question here is: was Edward Drinker Cope a great drinker?

[@miguelaphan58]

..a most especislized channel , ever in KZbin!!!

[@chir0pter]

6:00 I wonder if this developmental plasticity also explains the controversy over Nanotyrannus? Nanotyrannus could represent both mature and immature T. rex 🤔

[@backalleycqc4790]

Ah, Typothorax, the ancestor of the Autocorrectthorax.

[@peabrain6872]

LOL

[@tomholroyd7519]

6:55 did they really have sclerotic rings?

[@dodorik7114]

nice!

[@billparker5202]

Nice coverage but I'm not sure where the idea that Typothorax had a dinosaur ankle came from, the ankle is identical to crocodylians.

[@Poliostasis]

I thought Desmatosuchus was bigger? And it looks bigger online

[@majster7072]

Things have changed as stated in the video

[@Poliostasis]

@@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

[@yoimmablob]

I dunno, it looks spelled right to me

[@rileyernst9086]

I can imaging being bit in the cloaca by a phytosaur/rauisuchian would be rather unpleasant.

[@richardregister6890]

It reminds me of an armadillo and a glyptodont it may be a distant relative but it kinda resembles an Ankylosaurus

[@HassanMohamed-rm1cb]

I’ve got some great ideas and some great suggestions for you to make KZbin 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!!👍👍👍👍👍⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

[@mtbee9641]

What predators were present in the Triassic to require this type of armored protection?

[@chimerasuchus]

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.

[@mtbee9641]

@@chimerasuchus Thank you.

[@nathancomixproductions466]

What does the name "Typothorax" mean?

[@austinwhittle1427]

It means “spelled thorax wrong”

[@nathancomixproductions466]

@@austinwhittle1427 So, "typo" meaning "spelling" and "thorax" meaning "chest", right?
