It was herbivorous
An archosaur is a reptile of the taxon Archosauria, including the extinct dinosaurs, plesiosaurs, pterosaurs and ichthyosaurs, as well as modern crocodiles.
An archosaurian is an alternative name for an archosaur, a reptile of the taxon Archosauria, including the extinct dinosaurs, plesiosaurs, pterosaurs and ichthyosaurs, as well as modern crocodiles.
Animal life was then dominated, by large archosaurian reptiles: dinosaurs, pterosaurs, and aquatic reptiles such as ichthyosaurs, plesiosaurs, and mosasaurs. the first birds and placental mammals also appeared
They are both varieties of aquatic reptile predators that went extinct long ago.
Dinosaurs that lived in the sea are generally referred to as marine reptiles, not dinosaurs. These marine reptiles include creatures like ichthyosaurs, plesiosaurs, and mosasaurs.
No dinosaurs specifically lived in the water. Plesiosaurs, pliosaurs, mosasaurs and ichthyosaurs lived in the water (but are not DINOSAURS). They are reptiles but not dinosaurs. They co-inhabited the planet with dinosaurs, in the same way that the pterosaurs ruled the air. Pterosaurs were not dinosaurs either.
Define dinosaur. Dinosaurs were the dominant vertebrate animals of terrestrial ecosystems. Meaning they only lived in land. The ones that live in water are other reptiles but certainly they are not dinosaurs.There were numerous prehistoric reptiles that were aquatic, such as the ichthyosaurs, plesiosaurs and mosasaurs, that were alive during the time of dinosaurs.
Yes, the noun 'plesiosaurs' is a common noun, a general word for a type of extinct, marine reptile; a word for any plesiosaurs.
Other animals that lived at the same time as dinosaurs include early mammals and birds, pterosaurs, plesiosaurs, sharks, ichthyosaurs, and mosasaurs. Plants include conifers, cycads, ferns, seed ferns, horsetails, gingkoes, and mosses, and flowering plants came on the scene toward the end of the Mesozoic.
Pterosaurs are sometimes referred to in the popular media as dinosaurs, but this is incorrect. The term "dinosaur" is properly restricted to a certain group of terrestrial reptiles with a unique upright stance (superorder Dinosauria), and therefore excludes the pterosaurs, as well as the various groups of extinct aquatic reptiles, such as ichthyosaurs, plesiosaurs, and mosasaurs.
Yes it was.
