Glyphoderma
Glyphoderma was a strange, armored reptile that swam in the seas of China during the Middle Triassic. It had a hard shell made of hundreds of bony plates, like a turtle, but it was actually a placodont, a cousin of the long-necked plesiosaurs.1

Glyphoderma's shell was made of more than 400 separate bony plates, called osteoderms, that fit together like a puzzle.1
It had three large, cone-shaped bumps fused to the back of its skull, which no other placodont had.12
Glyphoderma is the only known placodont from the Ladinian age of the Middle Triassic in its family, Placochelyidae.2
Its name means 'sculptured skin' because of the deep grooves and ridges on its shell plates.1
The first fossil of Glyphoderma was found in a thick block of limestone, so scientists cannot see its belly very well.1
Glyphoderma had a very strong skull because most of its skull bones were fused together.1

- Scientists are still debating exactly how Glyphoderma swam and moved, because its flattened body and heavy shell were very different from other marine reptiles.1
