Fossil 7 - Plateosaurus

Story: Plateosaurus is a genus of plateosaurid dinosaur that lived during the Late Triassic period, around 214 to 204 million years ago, in what is now Central and Northern Europe and Greenland, North America. Plateosaurus is a basal (early) sauropodomorph dinosaur, a so-called "prosauropod". In 2019, the ICZN replaced the former type species P. engelhardti with P. trossingensis due to the former being undiagnostic. Currently, there are three valid species, P. trossingensis, P. longiceps, and P. gracilis. However, others have been assigned in the past, and there is no broad consensus on the species taxonomy of plateosaurid dinosaurs. Similarly, there are a plethora of synonyms (invalid duplicate names) at the genus level. Discovered in 1834 by Johann Friedrich Engelhardt and described three years later by Hermann von Meyer, Plateosaurus was the fifth named dinosaur genus that is still considered valid. Although it had been described before Richard Owen formally named Dinosauria in 1842, it was not one of the three genera used by Owen to define the group, because at the time, it was poorly known and difficult to identify as a dinosaur. It is now among the dinosaurs best known to science: over 100 skeletons have been found, some of them nearly complete. The abundance of its fossils in Swabia, Germany, has led to the nickname Schwäbischer Lindwurm (Swabian lindworm).

Gameplay: Ok, this fossil is a little bit harder than previous ones because sand here runs out faster than usual. Sometimes, fossils will be too high to break because you cannot see which eggs are at the top offscreen, and the only way to see them is to wait till sand runs out and eggs get shifted downwards.
