"The strangest of the Placodonts was Henodus from the Triassic strata near Tübingen in Germany. It had a square head and its short body was enclosed in armor like that of a turtle."

Paleovember 2023, Henodus!

You may look at this turtle-looking creature, with it's carapace and plastron, as well as it's aquatic habitat, and think to yourself, "hey, what a funky looking turtle!" Turns out, it's NOT a turtle. Not even close. Henodus is a member of a group of Triassic reptiles called placodonts that were relatives of plesiosaurs; turtles wouldn't evolve until much later. Henodus itself lived about 227 mya in Germany, and is unique among placodonts for living in freshwater habitats without coming onto land, and scraping vegetation off rocks.
