Cynognathia Totally Explained

Everything about The Cynognathia totally explained

The Cynognathians are one of the two major clades of the infraorder Eucynodontia, the other being the Probainognathians. Cynognathus, the most basal representative of the clade was a carnivore, unlike most cynognathians. The cynognathians were mostly mammal-like, but the subgroup Tritylodontids were the most mammal-like. Cynognathians can be identified by several synapomorphies including a very deep zygomatic arch that extends above the middle of the orbit. The cynognathians are the longest lived therapsid non-mammalian clade extending from Triassic to the Early Cretaceous. The most renowned Cynognathian is Cynognathus. So far, the Cynognathians's fossils are found in South America, Antarctica, and South Africa.
