Abstract
This paper records a nearly complete, articulated skeleton of Diademodan in undoubted association with a skull of that animal. Previously, only portions of postcranial skeleton have been
found in association with cranial remains of this genus. The skeleton is that of a relatively small
(ontogenetically young) individual. Skeletal proportions are tabulated, rib and vertebral differentiation
is described and discussed. Diademodon is shown to have had a long tail.
