Before Ankylosaurs, There Were Aetosaurs

This course explores the evolutionary significance of aetosaurs during the Triassic Period before the appearance of ankylosaurs. Participants will gain insights into the anatomy, armour, body plans, and phylogenetic challenges of aetosaurs. The course covers the history of aetosaur discoveries, their place in the Triassic ecosystem, and the ongoing scientific inquiries into their biology. The intended audience includes individuals interested in paleontology, evolutionary biology, and prehistoric reptiles.
