Diagnosis
| Reference | Diagnosis | |
|---|---|---|
| H. G. Seeley 1895 | The palatine and transverse bones of the palate are produced outward and usually downward, in an arch, which abuts against the inner side of the mandible. This character defines the order from the Dicynodonts, Mesosaurus, Nothosaurus, and all fossil groups of reptiles. There are more or less completely divided heads to dorsal ribs. A foramen of variable size occurs between ischium and pubis. The crest of the ilium extends on both sides of the acetabulum. |
