The evolution of the dicynodont feeding system
GM King, BW Oelofsen… - Zoological Journal of the …, 1989 - academic.oup.com
The skull structure of dicynodonts may be regarded as a complex adaptation towards
herbivorous feeding. The present work examines how and why this adaptation may have
evolved. A cladogram of the dicynodonts is presented and from it a sequence of hypothetical
ancestral forms is inferred. The jaw musculature of dicynodonts and other therapsids is
described and in particular the early dicynodont Eodicynodon oosthuizeni is described in
detail. This information is used to draw up a sequence of ancestral stages whose basic skull …
