Evolution and identity of synapsid carpal bones [PDF]
To date there is little information on carpal bone homology in late Palaeozoic and Mesozoic Synapsida. Crucial to the understanding of homology in synapsid carpal elements is the fact that different nomenclatures are used for the carpals of non ...

On the stratigraphic range of the dicynodont taxon Emydops (Therapsida: Anomodontia) in the Karoo Basin, South Africa [PDF]
The dicynodont specimen SAM-PK-708 has been referred to the genera Pristerodon and Emydops by various authors, and was used to argue that the first appearance of Emydops was in the Tapinocephalus Assemblage Zone in the Karoo Basin of South Africa ...

DICYNODONT JAW MECHANISMS RECONSIDERED: THE KANNEMEYERIA (ANOMODONTIA THERAPSIDA) MASTICATORY CYCLE
The unique feature of the dicynodont masticatory apparatus is the double-convex jaw articulation, which permitted free antero-posterior movement. Since Crompton and Hotton's demonstration of the jaw articulation, most subsequent work has argued either ...

A new kannemeyeriiform dicynodont (Ufudocyclops mukanelai gen. et sp. nov.) from Subzone C of the Cynognathus Assemblage Zone (Triassic of South Africa) with implications for biostratigraphic correlation with other African Triassic faunas [PDF]
A new taxon of kannemeyeriiform dicynodont, Ufudocyclops mukanelai, is described based on a well-preserved skull from Subzone C of the Cynognathus Assemblage Zone, which are the youngest strata (probably Middle Triassic) of the Beaufort Group (uppermost ...

The skeleton of the Triassic anomodont Kannemeyeria wilsoni Broom [PDF]
The general structure of the post-cranial skeleton of many Triassic anomodonts is now well known, but in Africa that of the stratigraphically important Lower Triassic (? Scythian) genus Kannemeyeria is known only from dissociated elements.
