Cyamodontoidea is an extinct superfamily of placodont marine reptiles from the Triassic period. It is one of the two main groups of placodonts, the other being Placodontoidea. Cyamodontoids are distinguished from placodontoids by their large shells, formed from fused bony plates called osteoderms and superficially resembling the shells of turtles. Cyamodontoids also have distinctive skulls with narrow, often toothless jaws and wide, flaring temporal regions behind the eyes. Two large temporal openings are positioned at the top of the back of the skull, an arrangement that is known as the euryapsid condition and seen throughout Sauropterygia, the marine reptile group to which placodonts belong. Cyamodontoids are also distinguished by their large crushing teeth, which grow from the palatine

  • Cyamodontoidea is an extinct superfamily of placodont marine reptiles from the Triassic period. It is one of the two main groups of placodonts, the other being Placodontoidea. Cyamodontoids are distinguished from placodontoids by their large shells, formed from fused bony plates called osteoderms and superficially resembling the shells of turtles. Cyamodontoids also have distinctive skulls with narrow, often toothless jaws and wide, flaring temporal regions behind the eyes. Two large temporal openings are positioned at the top of the back of the skull, an arrangement that is known as the euryapsid condition and seen throughout Sauropterygia, the marine reptile group to which placodonts belong. Cyamodontoids are also distinguished by their large crushing teeth, which grow from the palatine bones on the roof of the mouth. (en)
  • Cyamodontoidea è una superfamiglia estinta di rettili marini placodonti vissuti nel Triassico. È uno dei due principali gruppi di Placodontia, l'altro è Placodontoidea. I cyamodontoidi si distinguono dai placodontoidi per le loro grandi corazze, formate da placche ossee fuse chiamate osteodermi e che assomigliano superficialmente ai gusci delle tartarughe. I cyamodontoidi hanno anche crani distintivi con mascelle strette, spesso sdentate e ampie regioni temporali dietro gli occhi. Due grandi aperture temporali sono posizionate nella parte superiore del retro del cranio, una caratteristica nota come condizione euryapsida e osservata in tutti i sauropterygii, il gruppo di rettili marini a cui appartengono i placodonti. I cyamodontoidi si distinguono anche per i grandi denti schiaccianti, che crescono dalle ossa palatine sul tetto della bocca. (it)
  • Cyamodontoidea (ook wel: 'bepantserde Placodonten') is een uitgestorven superfamilie binnen de orde der Placodontia. In tegenstelling tot de andere superfamilie binnen de Placodontia, Placodontoidea, waren de vertegenwoordigers van deze superfamilie bepantserd en beduidend beter aangepast aan het leven in het water. Vertegenwoordigers van Cyamodontoidea hadden een schildpadachtig lichaam en een ver ontwikkeld schild. Het favoriete voedsel bestond uit schelpdieren. Cyamodontoidea zijn ingedeeld in drie families, Henodontidae, Cyamodontidae en Placochelyidae. (nl)
