Ianthasaurus : ウィキペディア英語版 | Ianthasaurus
''Ianthasaurus'' was a small edaphosaurid from the Late Carboniferous. ==Description== It is one of the smallest pelycosaurs known, with an 8 cm skull and a total body length of 75 cm.〔T.S. Kemp (2005) ''The origin and evolution of mammals'' p.24.〕 ''Ianthasaurus'' lacks many of the spectacular specializations seen in ''Edaphosaurus''. For example, the marginal dentition of ''Ianthasaurus'' is similar to that of insectivorous reptiles, with slender conical teeth which are slightly recurved at the tips, and there is a slight development of a caniniform region. The palatal and mandibular dentition is unspecialized, and there are no batteries of teeth for crushing of plant materials. Also unlike ''Edaphosaurus'', ''Ianthasaurus'' was lightly built and was probably quite agile. The skull was similar to that to ''Haptodus'', a sphenacodontid, though they were distantly related.
