Tanystropheidae: Triassic Weirdosity

Tanystropheidae is an extinct family of mostly marine archosauromorph reptiles that lived throughout the Triassic Period. They are characterized by their long, stiff necks formed from elongated cervical vertebrae with very long cervical ribs. Some tanystropheids such as Tanystropheus had necks that were several meters long, longer than the rest of their bodies. Others were bizarre gliding animals with elongated hindlimbs, while others still took to a semi-bepidal stance and lived along Pangea's extensive coastlines.
