A taxonomic revision of small dicynodonts with postcanine teeth

Zoological Journal of the Linnean Society, 1993
Abstract The validity of 18 genera of small (skull length less than 150 mm) dicynodonts with postcanine teeth has been assessed. It is concluded that only four genera, Emydops, Eodicynodon, Robertia and Pristerodon, can be defined satisfactorily on the basis of well-preserved and adequately prepared specimens.

Origin of the Triassic Dicynodonts (Reptilia: Synapsida)

Nature, 1964
SO far, workers on the Triassic dicynodonts1–3 have not been able to indicate how this group originated. However, Camp2 has enumerated twelve characters which he thought would be present in their ancestor. Eleven of these characters are found in the Eo-triassic genus Lystrosaurus4.

The evolution of the dicynodont feeding system

Zoological Journal of the Linnean Society, 1989
The skull structure of dicynodonts may be regarded as a complex adaptation towards herbivorous feeding. The present work examines how and why this adaptation may have evolved. A cladogram of the dicynodonts is presented and from it a sequence of hypothetical ancestral forms is inferred.

Late Permian dicynodonts of Eastern Europe

Paleontological Journal, 2010

Late Permian dicynodont fauna from Laos

Geological Society, London, Special Publications, 2009
Abstract In Laos, dicynodonts have long been known only from one specimen, now lost, a partial skull discovered by Counillon in the purple beds of the area of Luang Prabang, and initially described by Repelin as Dicynodon incisivum . Subsequent researchers attributed the specimen either to the Late Permian

Note on the Dicynodont Vomer

Nature, 1913
IN 1898 I directed attention to the fact that the paired elements in the front of the palate of lizards and snakes seem in all their relations to agree with the pair of bones in Ornithorhynchus, which afterwards fuse to form the dumb-bell bone, and that they cannot be homologous with the median unpaired vomer of mammals, and must have another name, and

The functional anatomy of a Permian dicynodont

Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society of London. B, Biological Sciences, 1981
A specimen ofDicynodon trigonocephalusfrom the Madumabisa mudstones of Zambia is described. The jaw adductor musculature is reconstructed. It is concluded that two slips of the adductor externus medialis were present. A posterior adductor ran from the quadrate to the medial surface of the lower jaw and a forwardly running muscle may have inserted on ...
