Pareiasaurus henneni
Temporal Range: Lopingian, Wuchiapingian, 260.4–253.8 Ma
Length: Est. ~2-3 metres
Probable mass: ~400-600 kilograms?
Etymology: Helmet-cheeked reptile
Pareiasaurus is an extinct genus of parareptile from the Permian period. Its family, the pareiasaurs, take their name from this genus.
Pareiasaurus is a large quadruped, about ~2.5 metres in length, with elephantine legs. It is very heavily built. Its skull had several spine- and wart-like protrusions. Pareiasaurus has leaf-shaped teeth, ideal for biting through tough plant fibres, that indicate a herbivorous diet. Even the palate had teeth.
