Byistros

Byistros is a genus of small, herbivorous dinosaurs that lived during the Late Triassic period. The name "Byistros" is derived from the Greek words "bysmos," meaning "deep," and "strophe," meaning "turn," referring to their presumed browsing habits. Fossils of Byistros have been found in what is now South America. These creatures were likely bipedal, with relatively long tails for balance and short forelimbs. Their teeth suggest a diet of low-lying vegetation, such as ferns and cycads.

The skeletal structure of Byistros indicates it was a relatively agile dinosaur. Its size is estimated to be around 1 to 2 meters in length. Byistros belongs to the infraorder Ornithischia, a group of dinosaurs characterized by their bird-like hip structure. However, it is important to note that this hip structure does not imply a direct evolutionary link to modern birds, but rather a convergent evolution of skeletal features. Paleontologists continue to study the limited fossil record of Byistros to better understand its place within the broader dinosaur family tree and the ecosystems of the Late Triassic.
