Leptopleuron is an extinct genus of procolophonid that lived in the dry lands during the late Triassic in Elgin of northern Scotland and was the first to be included in the clade of Procolophonidae. First described by English paleontologist and biologist Sir Richard Owen, Leptopleuron is derived from two Greek bases, leptos for "slender" and pleuron for "rib," describing it as having slender ribs. The fossil is also known by a second name, Telerpeton, which is derived from the Greek bases tele for "far off" and herpeton for "reptile." In Scotland, Leptopleuron was found specifically in the Lossiemouth Sandstone Formation. The yellow sandstone it was located in was poorly lithified with wind coming from the southwest. The environment is also described to consist of barchan dunes due to the

| - Leptopleuron is an extinct genus of procolophonid that lived in the dry lands during the late Triassic in Elgin of northern Scotland and was the first to be included in the clade of Procolophonidae. First described by English paleontologist and biologist Sir Richard Owen, Leptopleuron is derived from two Greek bases, leptos for "slender" and pleuron for "rib," describing it as having slender ribs. The fossil is also known by a second name, Telerpeton, which is derived from the Greek bases tele for "far off" and herpeton for "reptile." In Scotland, Leptopleuron was found specifically in the Lossiemouth Sandstone Formation. The yellow sandstone it was located in was poorly lithified with wind coming from the southwest. The environment is also described to consist of barchan dunes due to the winds, ranging up to 20 m tall that spread during dry phases into flood plains. Procolophonoids such as Leptopleuron were considered an essential addition to the terrestrial ecosystem during the Triassic. (en)

- Leptopleuron – rodzaj niewielkiego zauropsyda należącego do grupy . Żył w późnym triasie na terenie współczesnej Europy. Jego skamieniałości odkryto w datowanych na karnik lub noryk osadach formacji Lossiemouth Sandstone w północnej Szkocji. Leptopleuron był niewielkim zwierzęciem osiągającym 15–20 cm długości. Jego uzębienie przypominało uzębienie współczesnych gryzoni – z tyłu szczęk znajdowały się szerokie, przystosowane do miażdżenia zęby, a te z przodu szczęk kształtem przypominały dłuto. Puszka mózgowa budową przypominała tę należącą do innego przedstawiciela Procolophonidae – wczesnotriasowego rodzaju . Kilka cech morfologicznych to apomorfie wśród Procolophonidae, inne mogą być uznane autapomorfiami rodzaju Leptopleuron lub synapomorfiami podrodziny Leptopleuroninae. (pl)
