Prehistoric Models: Allokotosauria
Allokotosauria is a clad of early archosauromorpha meaning “ruling reptile forms” in Greek, is a clade of diapsid reptiles containing all reptiles more closely related to archosaurs. Archosaurs include crocodilians, dinosaurs, and birds (avian dinosaurs), rather than lepidosaurus including snakes, lizards, and tuataras.
The name Allokotosauria is derived from the Greek meaning “strange reptiles” in reference to unexpected grouping of early archosauromorph with a high disparity of features typically associated with herbivory (eating plants). Members of Allokosauria from the middle Triassic Period are known from Asia, Africa, North America, and Europe
