An Entity of Type : owl:Thing, within Data Space : 134.155.108.49:8890 associated with source dataset(s)

Skulls of Deuterosaurus are well-known from several finds. They were around 80 cm (2 ft 6 in) with a long snout and conical teeth. Like all anteosaurs, the skull possessed long, dagger-like canine teeth. The skull was rather short for an antosaur, with a broad cheek region, indicating a very strong bite. The eyes where partly slanted forward, giving it at least partial stereo vision. The pineal eye, though small, had a well formed opening right atop the brain case.

  • Skulls of Deuterosaurus are well-known from several finds. They were around 80 cm (2 ft 6 in) with a long snout and conical teeth. Like all anteosaurs, the skull possessed long, dagger-like canine teeth. The skull was rather short for an antosaur, with a broad cheek region, indicating a very strong bite. The eyes where partly slanted forward, giving it at least partial stereo vision. The pineal eye, though small, had a well formed opening right atop the brain case. Deuterosaurus was a very large animal; the size of a modern grizzly bear. T. H. Huxley mistakenly considered it to be a dinosaur.[1] With its long tail, it had an adult length of 5–6 meters (15–18 ft) and weighted around half a ton. Judging from related therapsids, the short but massive legs where held sprawling, much like a modern crocodile. When walking, the tail would have swung sideways, like in modern reptiles.
