Great post Neal. So this one shared the same environment as Ampelosaurus and Rhabdodon etc. What can we infer about its paleoecology?...

Thanks, Joe. I would infer that Foxemys was a semi-aquatic turtle.       Neal Robbins ________________________________ From: snortiesmith...

Hi Joe, Polysternon lived in areas in which there were bays, estuaries, and subtidal zones. It is considered to have been an amphibious omnivore. Neal...

They were considerably smaller. Members of Albanerpetontidae were generally no more than 10 cm. in length. The frogs were also small. Polysternon had no...

Some fish remains. i.e. Lepisosteidae remains were found in close proximity to the Polysternon fossils. So fish may have also been on its menu. As for...
