Scutosaurus is an early pareiasaur that lived in the late Permian. A heavily armored herbivore, Scutosaurus were distant ancestors of modern turtles.

Paleo Chronicles

Scutosaurus was 9 – 11 feet long and weighed almost one ton. To support its weight it had thick, powerful limbs that were positioned directly beneath its body. Scutosaurus was heavily armored with their backs covered with hard bony plates. It had a thick skeletal structure covered with powerful muscles. They probably had an excellent sense of smell as well.
