Paleobiota

Amphibians

Amphibians
Taxon Material Notes
Metoposauridae indet. An interclavicle, skull fragments, and intercentra Indeterminate metoposaurid remains similar to those of India n metoposaurids. Some fossils were the basis for the dubious species "Metoposaurus hoffmani". May be from Isalo II or III.[2]
Stereospondyli indet. Interclavicles Indeterminate stereospondyl remains. May be from Isalo II or III.[2]

Reptiles

Synapsids
Taxon Material Notes
Archosauriformes sp. Teeth, a coracoid, a centrum fragment, and cranial fragments Various indeterminate fragments, some of which may belong to dinosaurs.[3]
Avemetatarsalia sp. A partial skeleton An unnamed armored basal avemetatarsalian[4]
Azendohsaurus madagaskarensis[5] Numerous skulls and postcranial fossils[1] An allokotosaurian archosauromorph,[6][7][1] originally mistakenly identified as a "prosauropod" dinosaur.[5]
Isalorhynchus genovefae Numerous fossils representing parts of the skull and postcrania A rhynchosaur sometimes considered a species of Hyperodapedon.[8] Possibly represents two taxa.[9]
Kongonaphon kely[10] A maxilla and postcranial material A tiny lagerpetid avemetatarsalian[11]
Phytosauria indet. Teeth Similar to Rutiodon teeth.[3]
Procolophonidae sp. A jaw fragment and other remains An unnamed procolophonid parareptile[8]
Pseudosuchia indet. Osteoderms Likely referable to stagonolepid aetosaurs, though similar to goniopholidid crocodylomorphs as well.[3]
Silesauridae sp. An unnamed silesaurid dinosauromorph[4]
Sphenodontia sp. An unnamed sphenodontian[5]

Synapsids

Synapsids
Taxon Material Notes
Chiniquodon kalanoro[12] Part of a jaw A chiniquodontid cynodont
Dadadon isaloi[13] Several skulls and jaw fragments[14][15] A massetognathine[15] traversodontid cynodont
Kannemeyeriiformes sp. An unnamed kannemeyeriiform dicynodont[5][12][1]
Menadon besairiei[13] Skulls, jaws, and postcranial material[16] A traversodontid cynodont
