These reptiles lived from 240-210 million years ago in the mid-late Triassic period. According to the team, the Kaltental assemblage likely contains a group of juveniles of Aetosaurus ferratus that formed biologically, i.e., through gregarious behavior.
“The animals banded together for some reason,” Teschner said.
“Most likely to increase their chances of survival and deter predators.”
The findings appear in the Journal of Vertebrate Paleontology.
