The cranial anatomy of Kombuisia frerensis Hotton (Synapsida, Dicynodontia) and a new phylogeny of anomodont therapsids [PDF]
Redescription of the small Triassic dicynodont Kombuisia frerensis Hotton reveals new information about its cranial anatomy. On the basis of the new data, the previously suggested hypothesis of a close relationship of Kombuisia and the Permian genus Kingoria is tested within a phylogenetic framework.

A detailed description of the internal structure of the skull of Emydops (Therapsida: Dicynodontia) [PDF]
A detailed morphological study of two skulls of Emydops was undertaken by using the serial grinding technique. Graphic reconstructions of various aspects of the skulls were made. The internal structures are described in detail and compared to other small
