Biology:Cyonosaurus
From HandWiki
Cyonosaurus is a genus of gorgonopsian therapsids from the Late Permian of South Africa and Zambia.[1][2] The type species Cyonosaurus longiceps was named in 1937.[3] Cyonosaurus had a skull length between 9 to 18 centimetres (3 1⁄2 to 7 in).[3] However, an unnamed species of Cyonosaurus was noted to have a skull length of 20 cm (7.9 in).[2] Originally, some have been reported from Early Triassic strata, but further investigation revealed that these reports were erroneous. Suggesting that Cyonosaurus went extinct during the Permian-Triassic mass extinction.[1]
