Diagnosis
ReferenceDiagnosis
C. F. Kammerer and K. D. Angielczyk 2009The analyses of Angielczyk (2007), Fröbisch (2007), and Fröbisch & Reisz (2008) identified two autapomorphies diagnostic of Oudenodontidae: (1) interpterygoid vacuity long and reaches the level of the palatal exposure of the palatines; (2) postparietal contributes to the intertemporal skull roof.
