| dc.description.abstract | A detailed morphological study of two skulls of Emydops was undertaken by using the serial grinding technique. Graphical, wax modeI and computer-3D reconstructions of various aspects of the skulls were made. The internal structures are described in detail and compared to other small dicyncdonts such as Eodicmodort, Pristerodon, Tropidostpma, Cistecepnalus and Diictodon. The structure of the skull of Emydops conforms within the limits of variation known for this genus, to descriptions given in the literature. It was found that Emydops is different from other dicynoconts in that the parasphen and has a definite suture with the pterygoid anterior to the pterygoidbasisphenoid suture, which is not noticed and mentioned for other dicynodonts, except for Emydops (Olson, 1944). | en_ZA |
