Triassic palaeofauna of Miedary locality

Skin? Moisturized. Teeth? Tusk-like. Today’s mood? Mastodonsaurus giganteus. This animal lived during the Late Triassic about 215 million years ago. It’s an extinct relative of frogs and salamanders, but it probably behaved more like a crocodile: Its large, flat skull and tusk-like teeth (some of which protruded through the skull) seem to be adapted for seizing large prey. You can see this life-sized model in the Museum’s Hall of Vertebrate Origins! Plan your visit.

how about the extinct amphibian Mastodonsaurus (which is not a mastodon (extinct members of the elephant genus Mammut), a lizard (what "saurus" is normally translated as), or a dinosaur (for which -saurus is a common suffix in names))
