The Giving of December. Thecodontosaurus

  Like so many early discovered dinosaurs Thecodontosaurus had more fossils assigned to it than it really warranted. This has led to a re-evaluation of the attributed material, and like so many other studies, has resulted in the reduction of total species to the point that only Thecodontosaurus antiquus is now universally recognised by all.
       Whereas some basal sauropodomorphs like Pantydraco are considered by some to have been omnivorous, the leaf shaped teeth of Thecodontosaurus denote a more strictly herbivorous diet. Thecodontosaurus also had a much shorter neck when compared to other prosauropodomorphs.
