"#Dicynodonts were an important clade of herbivorous #therapsids, which originated in the #Permian and vanished in the latest #Triassic... In the Triassic, this clade ranged from miniscule animals less than half a meter long to massive species comparable in size to the largest living terrestrial #mammals"

We've got a #dicynodont !
Quite the movie scene, but great to see #Lystrosaurus show up. I actually have a little herd of these guys. Very satisfying.
Mastodon, meet Rastodon!
Fossils of this little #dicynodont were found in southern Brazil.* Many dicynodonts sported prominent tusks, but the tusks of Rastodon were tiny nubbins that curved sharply forward, all but hidden behind its beak.

*In #Permian rocks of the Rio do Rasto Formation, hence its name.
