Therapsids

MrOwl Community

The Therapsids were a prehistoric order of reptiles that includes the earliest ancestors of mammals. These synapsids first appeared in the Early Permian period, with the last Therapsid species going extinct in the Early Cretaceous.

Therapsid - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Therapsida is a group of synapsids that includes mammals and their ancestors.Many of the traits today seen as unique to mammals had their origin within early therapsids, including having their four limbs extend vertically beneath the body, as opposed to the sprawling posture of other reptiles.

Synapsid - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Synapsids (Greek, 'fused arch'), synonymous with theropsids (Greek, 'beast-face'), are a group of animals that includes mammals and every animal more closely related to mammals than to other living amniotes.

Gorgonops - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Gorgonops is an extinct genus of therapsid which lived about 260-254 million years ago, during the Late Permian. It was a typical representative of the suborder Gorgonopsia, the dominant predators of their day, which in the largest forms grew to over three metres long.

Gorgonopsia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Gorgonopsia ("Gorgon face") is an extinct suborder of therapsid synapsids. Like other therapsids, gorgonopsians (or gorgonopsids) were at one time called "mammal-like reptiles" as well as "stem mammals".

Therocephalia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Therocephalia is an extinct suborder of eutheriodont therapsids from the Permian and Triassic. The therocephalians ("beast-heads") are named after their large skulls, which, along with the structure of their teeth, suggest that they were carnivores.

The therapsids include all mammals plus the many mammal-like reptiles, such as Dicynodon and the sabre-toothed gorgonopsids.

Therapsid - New World Encyclopedia

Therapsids (order Therapsida, class synapsid), are "mammal-like reptiles" that flourished from the Early Permian to the Late Triassic periods (c. 275 - 205 million years ago) and are thought to have been the precursors of mammals.

Nocturnality in Synapsids Predates the Origin of Mammals by Over 100 Million Years

Nocturnality is widespread among extant mammals and often considered the ancestral behavioural pattern for all mammals. However, mammals are nested within a larger clade,
