A new large cynodont from the Late Permian (Lopingian) of the South African Karoo Basin and its phylogenetic significance
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2019-08)
The Karoo Basin of South Africa has the best global record of Lopingian (Late Permian) non-mammaliaform cynodonts, currently represented by five species. We describe Vetusodon elikhulu gen. et sp. nov., documented by four ...
Postcranial morphology of the Early Triassic epicynodont Galesaurus planiceps (Owen) from the Karoo Basin, South Africa
(Wiley, 2018-06)
The Early Triassic non-mammaliaform epicynodont Galesaurus planiceps formed an important part of ecosystems following the Permo-Triassic Mass Extinction, the greatest mass extinction in Phanerozoic history. Here, we ...

(PeerJ Inc., 2017-01)
Non-mammaliaform cynodonts gave rise to mammals but the reproductive biology of this extinct group is still poorly known. Two exceptional fossils of Galesaurus planiceps and Thrinaxodon liorhinus, consisting of juveniles ...
Tooth replacement patterns in the Early Triassic epicynodont Galesaurus planiceps (Therapsida, Cynodontia)
(Public Library of Science, 2020-12)
Sixteen specimens of the Early Triassic cynodont Galesaurus planiceps (including eight that were scanned using micro-computed tomography) representing different ontogenetic stages were assembled to study the dental replacement ...
The mystery of a missing bone: revealing the orbitosphenoid in basal Epicynodontia (Cynodontia, Therapsida) through computed tomography
(Springer, 2017-08)
The basal non-mammaliaform cynodonts from the late Permian (Lopingian) and Early Triassic are a major source of information for the understanding of the evolutionary origin of mammals. Detailed knowledge of their anatomy ...
