  1. thecodont reptile

    Thecodont reptiles, also known as the Thecodontia, refers to a diverse group of early reptiles that lived during the Triassic period, classified by their distinctive mode of tooth implantation. The term "thecodont" means "socket-tooth", referring to their teeth being set deep in sockets in their jaws, similar to modern day crocodiles. These reptiles are often considered the ancestral group from which dinosaurs, birds, and pterosaurs evolved. However, the term "thecodont" is largely outdated and rarely used in modern paleontological works, as it's considered a paraphyletic group, meaning it includes some but not all descendants of a common ancestor.
