Kannemeyeriiformes is a group of large-bodied
Lystrosaurus murrayi
.
Evolutionary history
Despite being the most species-rich group of dicynodonts in the Triassic Period, kannemeyeriiforms exhibit much less diversity in terms of their anatomy and ecological roles than the dicynodonts from the
Permian Period
.
Permian-Triassic extinction event.[2]
Classification
Four families have been included in the group: Kannemeyeriidae,
morphotypes rather than true evolutionary groupings.[1]
