Dinodontosaurus

Dinodontosaurus is a genus of dicynodont therapsid. It was one of the largest herbivores of the Triassic and had a beak corneum. It lived in the Middle Triassic but disappeared in the Upper Triassic.
Dinodontosaurus turpior is the most common species of dicynodont that existed in the Middle Triassic, and more common in the fossil layers that age in Rio Grande do Sul, in geopark of paleorrota. They are found mainly in the Paleontological Site Chiniquá in São Pedro do Sul and Candelária , where a group of ten pups were found together, demonstrating that these animals had strategies for coexistence in a group and caring for their offspring.
