Fakte argëtuese
Cyamodus had a two-part shell: a big plate covered its body from neck to hips, and a smaller plate covered its hips and tail base.1
Its shell was made of many hexagonal or circular bony plates that made it heavy, helping it sink and stay underwater to find food.1
Fossils of two baby Cyamodus were found inside the stomach of a Lariosaurus, a large marine reptile that ate them.1
Cyamodus lived about 245 to 235 million years ago, during the Middle and Late Triassic.1
Its skull was heart-shaped and broad, and its limbs were short so it probably only came on land to rest.1
The first Cyamodus fossils were found in Germany and were originally thought to be from fish.1
