This Shringasaurus figure is hand painted to bring out all the scientifically accurate details in this prehistoric creature, from its lizard-like body to its distinctive horns.
Shringasaurus (meaning horned lizard), was an allokotosaur, a group of unusual herbivorous reptiles from the Triassic, and is most closely related to the smaller and better-known Azendohsaurus in the family Azendohsauridae.
Description
History
Shringasaurus was first formally described in 2017 from fossils of several individuals discovered in India. Shringasaurus was not a dinosaur, but rather a basal Archosauromorph - an early example of the group of reptiles that would eventually lead to the development of crocodiles, dinosaurs, birds and their relatives.
The teeth of Shringasaurus lean towards a plant-based or herbivorous diet. It is thought that the horns on the head may have been worn only by males, like many modern horned animals, and that they may have used them in battle to impress a potential mate.
