Rauisuchians



Scientific Classification
  Kingdom Animalia
  Phylum Chordata
  Class Sauropsida
  Infraclass Archosauromorpha
  (unranked) Crurotarsi
  Order Rauisuchiania
Rauisuchians were a group of carnivorous (meat-eating) archosaurs that lived during the Triassic period.

Rauisuchians were generally large in size - lengths of 13 to 20 feet (4 to 6 meters) were not uncommon,

Rauisuchians were all quadrupedal (walked on four legs), and like Aetosaurs had a pillar-erect limb posture. The erect gait of Rauisuchians is evidence that they were active and agile predators - and their gait was clearly an advantage of many of those of their prey animals which had less advanced locomotion, such as Dicynodonts and Rhynchosaurs.

Product Description:
Thirty-one specialists in the paleontology of the Age of Dinosaurs address a variety of issues: animals that preceded dinosaurs, the origin and early history of dinosaurs, and the relationship of the ascent of dinosaurs to new evolutionary innovations and to global, climatic, ecological, and even chance factors. This study is the first to examine how the period of dinosaur domination began.
