Titanophoneus potens

Osteichthyes - Anteosauridae

Taxonomy

Titanophoneus potens was named by Efremov (1940). Its type specimen is PIN 157/1, a skeleton (almost complete, incl. skull and lower jaws), and it is a 3D body fossil. Its type locality is Kamenny Ravine (Ulema River), Isheevo, PIN 157, 2207, which is in an Urzhumian/Severodvinian fluvial sandstone/mudstone in the Russian Federation. It is the type species of Titanophoneus.

Synonyms

Doliosaurus yanschinovi was named by Orlov (1958). Its type specimen is PIN 157/3, a skull, and it is a 3D body fossil. Its type locality is Kamenny Ravine (Ulema River), Isheevo, PIN 157, 2207, which is in an Urzhumian/Severodvinian fluvial sandstone/mudstone in the Russian Federation.

It was recombined as Doliosauriscus yanschinovi by Kuhn (1961), Battail and Surkov (2000); it was synonymized subjectively with Titanophoneus potens by Ivakhnenko (2003), Kammerer (2011).
