This monstrous reptile was an early aquatic predator that struck with terrifying speed and power at anything unfortunate enough to cross its feeding grounds. While it resembled a modern crocodile, the phytosaur is far older and perhaps more frightening than the aquatic reptiles we know today.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eScutes, also known as osteoderms, were the primary armor of the phytosaurs. They are not part of the skeleton but rather a growth within the skin. Osteoderm formation usually begins with small nodules of cartilage around which more dense material forms.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlease Note:\u003c\/strong\u003e Individual scutes will vary widely in shape and texture. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mini Museum","offers":[{"title":"Small Scute","offer_id":50960494428417,"sku":"rww1793042813220","price":29.25,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Medium Scute","offer_id":50960494461185,"sku":"fjp1793042813221","price":46.61,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Large Scute","offer_id":50960494493953,"sku":"fhk1793042813222","price":64.97,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0822\/0105\/1393\/files\/phytosaur-scute---classic-boxed-specimens_1.jpg?v=1793042885","url":"https:\/\/quickdryclad.shop\/products\/phytosaur-scute-classic-boxed-specimens","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
