In fact, the model best supported by Tany's body-shape is the giraffe model: tidal breathing with narrow trachea & giant lungs that only contract a few times a minute.
The most unique adaptation is the lung shape: 'multicameral', with many lobes each working in parallel to move air.

A very important open access study (doi.org/10.1016/j.cub.…) led by @semifossorial.bsky.social on the ancestry of turtles was published!
Eunotosaurus' similarities are just a case of evolutionary convergence, & pantestudines might have a close relationship to sauropterygians within archosauromorpha

For #FossilFriday, here's the skull of Hyperodapedon sanjuanensis, a #rhynchosaur from South America that lived ~232 million years ago in the #Triassic. I got to study this specimen back in 2019 when I visited the @amnh.org in New York 🇺🇸

Let's meet my friend Tanystropheus, a archosauromorph reptile from the Triassic.
You may notice that Tany is looooooooong, with some specimens being 6 m (20 ft) long, while only weighing 30-70 kg (65-150 lbs).
Which led me to an interesting question:
How do LONG-NECKERS like Tany BREATHE?

Apesar de não serem dinossauros, eles fazem parte do grande grupo Archosauromorpha, que inclui os dinossauros, pterossauros e crocodilos. Um dos membros mais famosos dos Allokotosauria é o Azendohsaurus, do continente africano, que por muito tempo foi confundido com um dinossauro!

Het Trias stelt men voor als het tijdperk van de 'oude' reptielen.
De concrete soorten die daartoe als voorbeeld dienen maken allemaal deel uit van de clade 'Archosauromorpha', waar ook de Dinosauria gewoon deel van uitmaken.
Geen strijd van 'oud' tegen 'nieuw' maar een proces van diversificatie.

Den "stora" kontroversen har varit att en hel del morfologiska studier har pekat åt Lepidosauromorpha, med då särskilt Eunotosaurus som en mycket tidig förfader till sköldpaddor, medan molekylära studier (DNA och sånt) har mer och mer pekat åt Archosauromorpha.

Den vetenskapliga artikeln finns att läsa här och det blir oerhört tydligt redan i första stycket att sköldpaddornas ursprung inte är ett "mysterium" eller "höljt i dunkel" utan att det handlar om att folk inte är överens om de är närmast släkt med Lepidosauromorpha eller Archosauromorpha.

However, TBF, there is much more to this than to the relationships among the extant clades. The new evidence (esp. the CT stuff) helps clarify where among Archosauromorpha turtles fall, and that Eunotosaurus is a millerettid and not a stem-turtle.

True, fair, but honestly it's such a hairline case of node choice ... I would rather introduce archosauromorpha and ornithodira/avemetatarsalia to a layperson than explain why calling dinosaurs 'lizards' is significantly wrongerer.
