Stagonolepis (Robertsoni-Wellesi-Olenkae)
Thecodontion
Thick armoured scales ran down its body Heavy body armour to repel carnivores Small headed, slowly moving browser A long intestine to digest vegetation Beak-like tip that arched upwards Peg-like teeth to uproot plants Snout-like unusual structure of the skull Allowing to dig through the undergrowth Chewing tough cycads, horsetails and ferns Fossil remains found in sandstones In Lossiemouth and Krasiejów deposits Some species stratigraphically younger Like the Stagonolepis Olenkae specimens The genus Aetosauroides as a junior synonym Aetosauroides Scagliai and Subsulcatus Sequential studies to smaller specimens Proposed they belonged to the Robertsoni The Wellesi specimen was called Calyptosuchus Now they belong to the same monotypic genera And are restricted to the Carnian stage

he project's moniker comes from an obsolete taxonomic group, Thecodontia (meaning "socket-teeth", pron. "Teh-co-don-tee-ah"), used to describe an order of archosaurian reptiles that lived from the Permian until the Triassic. They resembled crocodiles and were not actually dinosaurs.They were some of their ancestors.
The concept of this demo is entirely based on them, with four songs about four different genera of thecodonts.
