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,
