Revising the therocephalians and most cynodonts in book (in preparation) would be a PAIN… but now I am not as confident depicting them as furry as I was before … so I am stuck
For a short time, during the earliest Triassic, some parts of the world belonged to the #therocephalians. Here for #FossilFriday I have reconstructed the large-sized Moschorhinus. It is defending its recent kill, a Lystrosaurus, from a group of Tetracynodon #paleoart #sciart
Only three groups of Synapsids/therapsids survived the end-Permian mass extinction event into the Early Triassic: dicynodonts (top), therocephalians (center), and cynodonts (bottom). Only the latter (our relatives) survived into the Jurassic. #paleoart #sciart #therapsids
WIP. Ericiolacerta parva, one of the few Terocephalians that survived into the Early Triassic. Fremouw Fm, Induan/Olenekian, Antarctica 🇦🇶 #Therocephalians are usually recovered as the sister clade to cynodonts. Reconstructed with fur as suggested by @Synapsida #paleoart
