Diplurus is a
Connecticut River Valley, which indicates a considerable growth and likely a change in the ecological position of the genus to a possible apex predatory niche.[3]
Paleoenvironment
Diplurus represents a freshwater taxon that inhabited the fluvial, palustrine and lacustrine environments that filled the Valley incisions of the Newark Supergroup, mostly fed by the coeval activity of the North American CAMP.Coleoptera larvae, such as Mormolucoides), clam-shrimps (Cyzicus spp.) and ostracods (Darwinula spp.) invertebrates, then also with fishes such as Hybodus, Redfieldius, Ptycholepis, Acentrophorus and Semiontus.[4] Linked with both Late Triassic and Early Jurassic, abundant terrestrial vertebrate ichnosites and body fossils are found, including those of Archosaurs and Synapsids.[4]
