Complex dental wear analysis reveals dietary shift in Triassic placodonts (Sauropsida, Sauropterygia)
Abstract Placodonts were durophagous reptiles of the Triassic seas with robust skulls, jaws, and enlarged, flat, pebble-like teeth. During their evolution, they underwent gradual craniodental changes from the Early Anisian to the Rhaetian, such as a reduction in the number of teeth, an increase in t...
