Evolution and identity of synapsid carpal bones [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
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 ...

Late Permian terrestrial faunal connections invigorated: the first whaitsioid therocephalian from China [PDF]

open access: yes, 2023
The record of therocephalian therapsids from the late Permian of China has recently been greatly expanded by the discovery of severalnew taxa of Akidnognathidae, a group previously known principally from South Africa and Russia. Continuing this string of

THE MODE OF LIFE OF GORGONOPSIANS [PDF]

open access: yes, 1973
The gorgonopsians as typically developed were undoubtedly the dominant land carnivores of the Upper Permian and have been compared with the sabre-tooth cats of the Tertiary (Parrington, 1955, p. 7 and Kemp, 1969b, p. 321).

Evolutionary radiation of large‐bodied gorgonopsians from the lower Abrahamskraal formation of South Africa

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The middle Permian represents a critical interval in therapsid evolution, when gorgonopsians emerged as some of the first specialized apex predators within terrestrial ecosystems. Despite their significance, the early diversification of Gorgonopsia in Gondwana remains poorly understood due to scarcity and fragmentary material.

Developmental and Evolutionary Significance of the Zygomatic Bone

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, Volume 299, Issue 12, Page 1616-1630, December 2016., 2016
ABSTRACT The zygomatic bone is derived evolutionarily from the orbital series. In most modern mammals the zygomatic bone forms a large part of the face and usually serves as a bridge that connects the facial skeleton to the neurocranium. Our aim is to provide information on the contribution of the zygomatic bone to variation in midfacial protrusion ...

ON THE CLASSIFICATION OF THE GORGONOPSIA [PDF]

open access: yes, 1968
The work here summarized represents an attempt to review the South African Gorgonopsians, an attempt based on a re-examination of the cranial anatomy of the type material and a comparison of all the specimens available.

Early synapsids neurosensory diversity revealed by CT and synchrotron scanning

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, Volume 309, Issue 4, Page 912-929, April 2026.
Abstract Non‐mammaliaform synapsids (NMS) represent the closest relatives of today's mammals among the early amniotes. Exploring their brain and nervous system is key to understanding how mammals evolved. Here, using CT and Synchrotron scanning, we document for the first time three extreme cases of neurosensory and behavioral adaptations that probe ...
