Plateosaurus is a genus of plateosaurid dinosaur that lived during the Late Triassic period, around 214 to 204 million years ago, in what is now Central and Northern Europe and Greenland, North America. Plateosaurus is a basal sauropodomorph dinosaur, a so-called "prosauropod"; as of 2011, two species are recognised: the type species P. engelhardti from the late Norian and Rhaetian, the earlier P. gracilis from the lower Norian. However, others have been assigned in the past, there is no broad consensus on the species taxonomy of plateosaurid dinosaurs. There are a plethora of synonyms at the genus level. Discovered in 1834 by Johann Friedrich Engelhardt and described three years by Hermann von Meyer, Plateosaurus was the fifth named dinosaur genus, still considered valid. Although it had been described before Richard Owen formally named Dinosauria in 1842, it was not one of the three genera used by Owen to define the group, because at the time, it was poorly known and difficult to identify as a dinosaur.

It is now among the dinosaurs best known to science: over 100 skeletons have been found, some of them nearly complete. The abundance of its fossils in Swabia, has led to the nickname Schwäbischer Lindwurm. Plateosaurus was a bipedal herbivore with a small skull on a long, flexible neck, sharp but plump plant-crushing teeth, powerful hind limbs, short but muscular arms and grasping hands with large claws on three fingers used for defence and feeding. Unusually for a dinosaur, Plateosaurus showed strong developmental plasticity: instead of having a uniform adult size grown individuals were between 4.8 and 10 metres long and weighed between 600 and 4,000 kilograms. The animals lived for at least 12 to 20 years, but the maximum life span is not known. Despite the great quantity and excellent quality of the fossil material, Plateosaurus was for a long time one of the most misunderstood dinosaurs; some researchers proposed theories that were shown to conflict with geological and palaeontological evidence, but have become the paradigm of public opinion.

Since 1980 the taxonomy, taphonomy and palaeobiology of Plateosaurus have been re-studied in detail, altering the interpretation of the animal's biology and behaviour. Plateosaurus had the typical body shape of a herbivorous bipedal dinosaur: a small skull, a long and flexible neck composed of 10 cervical vertebrae, a stocky body, a long, mobile tail composed of at least 40 caudal vertebrae; the arms of Plateosaurus were short compared to most other "prosauropods". However, they were built, with hands adapted for powerful grasping; the shoulder girdle was narrow, with the clavicles touching at the body's midline, as in other basal sauropodomorphs. The hind limbs were held under the body, with flexed knees and ankles, the foot was digitigrade, meaning the animal walked on its toes; the proportionally long lower leg and metatarsus show that Plateosaurus could run on its hind limbs. The tail of Plateosaurus was dinosaurian and with high mobility; the skull of Plateosaurus is small and narrow, rectangular in side view, nearly three times as long as it is high.

There is an rectangular lateral temporal foramen at the back. The large, round orbit, the sub-triangular antorbital fenestra and the oval naris are of equal size; the jaws carried many small, leaf-shaped, socketed teeth: 5 to 6 per premaxilla, 24 to 30 per maxilla, 21 to 28 per dentary. The thick, leaf-shaped, bluntly serrated tooth crowns were suitable for crushing plant material; the low position of the jaw joint gave the chewing muscles great leverage, so that Plateosaurus could deliver a powerful bite. These features suggest that it fed to on plants, its eyes were directed to the sides, rather than the front, providing all-round vision to watch for predators. Some fossil skeletons have preserved sclerotic rings; the ribs were connected to the dorsal vertebrae with two joints, acting together as a simple hinge joint, which has allowed researchers to reconstruct the inhaled and exhaled positions of the ribcage. The difference in volume between these two positions defines the air exchange volume, determined to be 20 L for a P. engelhardti individual estimated to have weighed 690 kg, or 29 mL/kg bodyweight.

This is a typical value for birds, but not for mammals, indicates that Plateosaurus had an avian-style flow-through lung, although indicators for postcranial pneumaticity can be found on the bones of only a few individuals, were only recognised in 2010. Combined with evidence from bone histology this indicates; the type species of Plateosaurus is P. engelhardti. Adults of this species reached 4.8 to 10 metres in length, ranged in mass from 600 to 4,000 kilograms. The geologically older species, P. gracilis, was somewhat smaller, with a total length of 4 to 5 metres. In 1834, physician Johann Friedrich Engelhardt discovered some vertebrae and leg bones at Heroldsberg near Nuremberg, Germany. Three years German palaeontologist Hermann von Meyer designated them as the type specimen of a new genus

Lisa Durden is an African American media commentator and producer. Durden was born and raised in Newark, New Jersey and graduated from Seton Hall University with a degree in journalism, she has provided commentary on The Kelly File and other television programs on subjects including racism, Black Lives Matter, celebrity culture. Durden hosts The Lisa Durden Show, that airs on Newark and Manhattan cable channels, she was the associate producer for the documentary Brick City, producer of the documentary Soul Food Junkies, which won the 2012 Grand Jury Prize of Best Documentary at the American Black Film Festival. On June 6, 2017, Durden appeared on Fox News in an interview with Tucker Carlson, discussing a Black Lives Matter chapter that held a Memorial Day event for black people. Durden defended the chapter's actions, saying "Boo-hoo-hoo... You white people are angry because you couldn’t use your ‘white privilege’ card to get invited to the Black Lives Matter’s all-black Memorial Day celebration."

Carlson responded by calling Durden "hostile and separatist and crazy" and "demented". Two days Durden was suspended from her position of adjunct professor at Essex County College in Newark. Two weeks she was fired. Durden described the experience as being "publicly lynched". College president Anthony Munroe said the firing was in response to concerns and fears expressed by students and prospective students following Durden's remarks on television. A legal analysis by the campus free speech organization Foundation for Individual Rights in Education said that the firing violated established First Amendment law for public employees, rejected Munroe's claim that Durden's remarks made it impossible for her to do her job. FIRE stated that "if offending others and causing an'outpouring' of criticism and consternation were sufficient to overcome a faculty member's First Amendment rights, freedom of expression on campus would be reduced to a nullity."On July 25, 2017, Durden announced she would be running for New Jersey Lieutenant Governor on the Green Party ticket alongside Seth Kaper-Dale.
