We report on a nearly complete cranium of Ekweeconfractus amorui gen. et sp.
nov.(Hyaenodonta, Teratodontinae), from the early Miocene of Moruorot, Kenya. The …

We describe the first endocast reconstruction of a hyaenodont mammal based on X‐ray
microtomography. The endocast belongs to the type material of the European hyaenodont …

Hyaenodonts are extinct placental mammals with a carnivorous diet. Their phylogenetic
position among mammals and the relationships within Hyaenodonta are at present partially …

Dicynodonts were herbivorous non-mammalian synapsids that were relatively abundant on
the landmass of Pangea from the Mid Permian to Late Triassic. The dicynodont genus …

The mammalian brain is very distinctive for its large relative size, enlarged olfactory bulbs,
and layered isocortex. These defining traits likely evolved in the non-mammalian …

Cistecephalidae is a relatively basal clade of dicynodonts, well-nested within emydopoids,
and known to have multiple adaptations to a fossorial lifestyle. In recent years cistecephalid …

Hyainailourine hyaenodonts are among the largest terrestrial carnivorous mammals known.
The clade is widely dispersed, found in Eurasia, North America, and Afro-Arabia in the …

ABSTRACT A survey of the postcranial anatomy of a specimen of Diademodon tetragonus
recovered from the Upper Omingonde Formation in Namibia resulted in the recognition of …

Detailed descriptions of braincase anatomy in early diapsid reptiles have been historically
rare given the difficulty of accessing this deep portion of the skull, because of poor …

English: The palaeoneurology (study of the nervous system of extinct animals) of
nonmammalian cynodonts, which were the ancestors of mammals, is poorly understood. It is …
