Paraplacodus

Paraplacodus was a Placodont from the middle Triassic period, during the Anisian to Ladinian stages. The fossils were uncovered in Northern Italy and the species was named in 1931 by Bernhard Peyer. Paraplacodus means "Almost Placodus", and thus far only one species, P. broilli, has been identified, although as the name suggests, it was similar to Placodus, and also bore a strong resemblance to Saurosphargis.
