Overview

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Augustaburiania is an extinct genus of tanystropheid archosauromorph which lived during the lower Triassic of what is now Eastern Europe. It is recovered from the Don River Basin in western Russia. It was named by Sennikov in 2011 and the type species is Augustaburiania vatagini. Augustaburiania is the oldest known tanystropheid. Archosauromorpha (Greek for ruling lizard forms ) is an infraclass of diapsid reptiles that first appeared during the late Permian and became more common during the Triassic. Included in this infraclass are the groups Rhynchosauria, Trilophosauridae, Prolacertiformes, Archosauriformes, and, tentatively, Choristodera. While superficially these reptiles vary in appearance (at one time they were even included in different subclasses - the trilophosaurs were considered euryapsids, and the rhynchosaurs were considered lepidosaurs and were included in the same order as the tuatara), they are actually united by a number of small skeletal and skull-related details that suggest they form a clade that descended from a single common ancestor.
