Scutosaurus
Scutosaurus ("shield lizard") is an extinct genus of pareiasaurian reptile. Fossils have been found in the Sokolki Assemblage Zone of the Malokinelskaya Formation and Salarevo Formation in European Russia, close to the Ural Mountains, dating to the late Permian (Lopingian) between 259 and 252 million years ago. Its genus name refers to large plates of armor scattered across its body. With a body mass suggested to exceed 1 tonne (2,200 lb), it was one of the largest reptiles of the Permian period.
