alphynix: scinewscom: Triassic Reptile Had ‘Third Eye’ and Thick, Domed Skull http://www.sci-news.com/paleontology/triopticus-primus-triassic-reptile-04219.html Triopticus primus, a newly-described archosauriform! Only a partial skull has been found, so we don’t know much about what the rest of the animal looked like – but what we do have shows a domed head with a weird “pit” in the middle. This probably wasn’t actually a parietal eye, but it may instead have simply been a result of the way the bones of the skull expanded to form the dome. It also has a name that sounds like it should belong to a Transformer. -- source link
