The late Palaeozoic is a pivotal period for the evolution of terrestrial ecosystems.
Generalised warming and aridification trends resulted in profound floral and faunal turnover …

Four substantial tetrapod extinctions have been identified during the Permian, but only one
of these is an apparent mass extinction. Analyses of global compilations of the family-level …

The most extensive Permian tetrapod (amphibian and reptile) fossil records from the western

The most extensive Permian tetrapod (amphibian and reptile) fossil records from the western
USA (New Mexico to Texas) and South Africa have been used to define 11 land vertebrate …

Anomodont synapsids represent the dominant herbivores of Permian and Triassic terrestrial
vertebrate ecosystems. Their taxonomic diversity and morphological disparity in combination …

Dicynodont fossils were first collected in the Luangwa Basin, Zambia, in the 1920s, but
limited detailed study and taxonomic uncertainty have obscured their biostratigraphic utility …

The twelve Gondwanan stratigraphic horizons of India have yielded varied vertebrate fossils.
The oldest fossil record is the Endothiodon-dominated multitaxic Kundaram fauna, which …

For about a half century, most vertebrate paleontologists have correlated the youngest
Permian tetrapod assemblages in North America, which are from the San Angelo, Flowerpot …

Cistecephalids are among the most distinctive Permian dicynodonts because of their highly
derived skulls and postcrania, which indicate a fossorial ecology. Four cistecephalid species …

Dicynodont therapsids have been known from the Upper Permian of Eastern Europe since
