Australosyodon, the first primitive anteosaurid dinocephalian from the Upper Permian of Gondwana
£1.00
A new genus and species of anteosaurid dinocephalian, Australosyodon nyaphuli, is described from the Eodicynodon-Tapinocaninus Assemblage Zone, the lowermost biozone of the Beaufort Group in S Africa. This genus, closely allied to Syodon, is the first undoubted primitive anteosaurid dinocephalian from outside Russia, and indicates that the earliest therapsids were also present in the southern hemisphere.
