Allokotosauria

Allokotosauria is a clade of early archosauromorph reptiles from the Middle to Late Triassic known from Asia, Africa, North America and Europe.

See Prolacertoides and Allokotosauria

Anatomical terms of location

Standard anatomical terms of location are used to unambiguously describe the anatomy of animals, including humans.

See Prolacertoides and Anatomical terms of location

Antorbital fenestra

An antorbital fenestra (plural: fenestrae) is an opening in the skull that is in front of the eye sockets.

See Prolacertoides and Antorbital fenestra

Archosauriformes

Archosauriformes (Greek for 'ruling lizards', and Latin for 'form') is a clade of diapsid reptiles encompassing archosaurs and some of their close relatives.

See Prolacertoides and Archosauriformes

Archosauromorpha (Greek for "ruling lizard forms") is a clade of diapsid reptiles containing all reptiles more closely related to archosaurs (such as crocodilians and dinosaurs, including birds) rather than lepidosaurs (such as tuataras, lizards, and snakes). Prolacertoides and Archosauromorpha are archosauromorphs.

See Prolacertoides and Archosauromorpha

China

China, officially the People's Republic of China (PRC), is a country in East Asia.

See Prolacertoides and China

Clade

In biological phylogenetics, a clade, also known as a monophyletic group or natural group, is a grouping of organisms that are monophyletic – that is, composed of a common ancestor and all its lineal descendants – on a phylogenetic tree.

See Prolacertoides and Clade

Early Triassic

The Early Triassic is the first of three epochs of the Triassic Period of the geologic timescale.

See Prolacertoides and Early Triassic

Frontal bone

In the human skull, the frontal bone or sincipital bone is a unpaired bone which consists of two portions.

See Prolacertoides and Frontal bone

Genus

Genus (genera) is a taxonomic rank above species and below family as used in the biological classification of living and fossil organisms as well as viruses.

See Prolacertoides and Genus

Gephyrosaurus

Gephyrosaurus is an extinct genus of lepidosaurian reptile known from the Late Triassic to Early Jurassic of the United Kingdom. Prolacertoides and Gephyrosaurus are Prehistoric reptile genera.

See Prolacertoides and Gephyrosaurus

Induan

The Induan is the first age of the Early Triassic epoch in the geologic timescale, or the lowest stage of the Lower Triassic series in chronostratigraphy.

See Prolacertoides and Induan

Jesairosaurus

Jesairosaurus is an extinct genus of early archosauromorph reptile known from the Illizi Province of Algeria. Prolacertoides and Jesairosaurus are archosauromorphs and Prehistoric reptile genera.

See Prolacertoides and Jesairosaurus

Jugal bone

The jugal is a skull bone found in most reptiles, amphibians and birds.

See Prolacertoides and Jugal bone

Lacrimal bone

The lacrimal bones are two small and fragile bones of the facial skeleton; they are roughly the size of the little fingernail and situated at the front part of the medial wall of the orbit.

See Prolacertoides and Lacrimal bone

Late Triassic

The Late Triassic is the third and final epoch of the Triassic Period in the geologic time scale, spanning the time between Ma and Ma (million years ago).

See Prolacertoides and Late Triassic

Maxilla

In vertebrates, the maxilla (maxillae) is the upper fixed (not fixed in Neopterygii) bone of the jaw formed from the fusion of two maxillary bones.

See Prolacertoides and Maxilla

Nasal bone

The nasal bones are two small oblong bones, varying in size and form in different individuals; they are placed side by side at the middle and upper part of the face and by their junction, form the bridge of the upper one third of the nose.

See Prolacertoides and Nasal bone

Nostril

A nostril (or naris,: nares) is either of the two orifices of the nose.

See Prolacertoides and Nostril

Orbit (anatomy)

In anatomy, the orbit is the cavity or socket/hole of the skull in which the eye and its appendages are situated.

See Prolacertoides and Orbit (anatomy)

Palatine bone

In anatomy, the palatine bones (derived from the Latin palatum) are two irregular bones of the facial skeleton in many animal species, located above the uvula in the throat.

See Prolacertoides and Palatine bone

Phylogenetics

In biology, phylogenetics is the study of the evolutionary history and relationships among or within groups of organisms.

See Prolacertoides and Phylogenetics

Polytomy

An internal node of a phylogenetic tree is described as a polytomy or multifurcation if (i) it is in a rooted tree and is linked to three or more child subtrees or (ii) it is in an unrooted tree and is attached to four or more branches.

See Prolacertoides and Polytomy

Prefrontal bone

The prefrontal bone is a bone separating the lacrimal and frontal bones in many tetrapod skulls.

See Prolacertoides and Prefrontal bone

Prolacerta

Prolacerta is a genus of archosauromorph from the lower Triassic of South Africa and Antarctica. Prolacertoides and Prolacerta are archosauromorphs, Induan genera and Prehistoric reptile genera.

See Prolacertoides and Prolacerta

Prolacertidae

Prolacertidae is an extinct family of archosauromorph reptiles that lived during the Early Triassic epoch. Prolacertoides and Prolacertidae are archosauromorphs.

See Prolacertoides and Prolacertidae

Pterygoid bone

The pterygoid is a paired bone forming part of the palate of many vertebrates, behind the palatine bones.

See Prolacertoides and Pterygoid bone

Reptile

Reptiles, as commonly defined, are a group of tetrapods with usually an ectothermic ('cold-blooded') metabolism and amniotic development.

See Prolacertoides and Reptile

Rhynchosaur

Rhynchosaurs are a group of extinct herbivorous Triassic archosauromorph reptiles, belonging to the order Rhynchosauria.

See Prolacertoides and Rhynchosaur

Sauria

Sauria is the clade containing the most recent common ancestor of Archosauria (which includes crocodilians and birds) and Lepidosauria (which includes squamates and the tuatara), and all its descendants.

See Prolacertoides and Sauria

Systematics

Systematics is the study of the diversification of living forms, both past and present, and the relationships among living things through time.

See Prolacertoides and Systematics

Tanystropheidae

Tanystropheidae is an extinct family of archosauromorph reptiles that lived throughout the Triassic Period, often considered to be "protorosaurs".

See Prolacertoides and Tanystropheidae

Trilophosaurus

Trilophosaurus (Greek for "lizard with three ridges") is a lizard-like trilophosaurid allokotosaur known from the Late Triassic of North America. Prolacertoides and Trilophosaurus are Prehistoric reptile genera.

See Prolacertoides and Trilophosaurus

Type species

In zoological nomenclature, a type species (species typica) is the species name with which the name of a genus or subgenus is considered to be permanently taxonomically associated, i.e., the species that contains the biological type specimen (or specimens).

See Prolacertoides and Type species

Xinjiang

Xinjiang, officially the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, is an autonomous region of the People's Republic of China (PRC), located in the northwest of the country at the crossroads of Central Asia and East Asia.
