Item Evidence for salt glands in the Triassic reptile Diademodon (Therapsida; Cynodontia)(Bernard Price Institute for Palaeontological Research, 1979) Grine, F. E.; Mitchell, D.; Gow, C. E.; Kitching, J. W.; Turner, B. R.;Fossilised skulls of Diademodon exhibit rostral depressions which may have housed salt glands.
