Кызыктуу фактылар
Atopodentatus is the oldest known plant-eating marine reptile. It lived about 6 million years after the great Permian extinction.2
Its head was shaped like a hammer, similar to a hammerhead shark. But Atopodentatus used its hammerhead for grazing on algae, not for sensing prey.2
The front of its jaws had chisel-shaped teeth for scraping algae. The back of its jaws had a mesh of needle-shaped teeth that acted like a strainer.2
Atopodentatus was about 2.75 meters (9 feet) long, about as long as a small car.1
Scientists first thought Atopodentatus had a downturned snout and was a filter feeder. But new skulls in 2016 showed it actually had a hammerhead.1
Atopodentatus lived in shallow seas near the coast, where algae grew on rocks. It probably could walk on land or mudflats.1
