Until now the earliest recognised procolophonoid (sensu Laurin & Reisz 1995) reptile has been
Owenetta, which ranges from the Cistecephalus assemblage zone (Upper Permian) to the
Lystrosaurus assemblage zone (Lower Triassic) of the Beaufort Group of South Africa. This
paper records the presence of a new even older form from low in the underlying Tapinocephalus
assemblage zone.
