Publications
Dicynodonts, an extinct group of mammal-like reptiles,
have long been intensively collected in regions where dicynodont fossils
are common. But how complete is the fossil record? A paper by UCMP graduate
student associate Ken Angielczyk discusses a preliminary phylogenetic
analysis of 20 well-known dicynodont taxa, and compares the results
to the stratigraphic record. The findings suggest that sections of several
dicynodont lineages may not be preserved in the intensively collected
areas. Palaeontologia Africana 37: 53-79.
