Abstract The origin of cynodonts, the group ancestral to and including mammals, is one of the major outstanding problems in therapsid evolution. One of the most troubling aspects of the cynodont fossil record is the lengthy Permian ghost lineage between the latest possible divergence from its sister group Therocephalia and the first appearance of ...

Evidence of a therapsid scavenger in the Late Permian Karoo Basin, South Africa [PDF]
Dicynodonts are an extinct group of herbivorous non-mammalian therapsids (‘mammal-like’ reptiles) that are widely known from terrestrial Permo-Triassic strata throughout Pangaea. Dicynodont fossil remains are common within the Late Permian Beaufort Group

New features of the snout and orbit of a therocephalian therapsid from South Africa [PDF]
I describe the anterior part of the externally poorly preserved skull of a therocephalian from the Karoo Basin in South Africa, using the method of serial grinding. The skull is incomplete, and its estimated length in life is 130 mm.

The lower jaw of cynodonts (Reptilia, Therapsida) and the evolutionary origin of mammal-like adductor jaw musculature [PDF]
The evolution of the feeding apparatus is described from Dimetrodon (a primitive mammal-like reptile representing a pre-therapsid stage of evolution) through theriodont therapsids (moderately and fully advanced carnivorous mammal-like reptiles from which

Insights on the Cranial Anatomy and Osteohistology of Cyonosaurus
This study investigates the cranial anatomy and life history of the small-bodied gorgonopsian Cyonosaurus. Previous research on gorgonopsians has disproportionately focused on larger members of the clade, leaving smaller forms relatively understudied ...
