Simorhinella
In Depth Simorhinella is a genus of therocephalian therapsid that lived in South Africa during the Permian. Simorhinella is noteworthy for having a snout that by proportion to relative genera is considerably shorter and deeper. This may have allowed Simorhinella to have a very strong bite force as the deeper snout would have been able … Read more
Eoarctops
In Depth Named from a thirteen centimetre long skull, Eoarctops seems to have been a particularly small genus of gorgonopsid. The skull is noted for being particularly broad at the back with a short snout, suggesting morphological adaptations for a proportionately high bite for tis size. This is because there would be room for larger … Read more

Microurania
In Depth Microurania is a genus of biarmosuchian therapsid that lived in Russia during the Permian. As a biarmosuchian, Microurania is expected to have been a predator, and given the small size of the holotype skull, possibly of smaller vertebrates.
