Vonhuenia (named after
Classification
The type species V. friedrichi, named in 1992, is based on material that was misassigned to the genus Chasmatosuchinae. The earliest known proterosuchid and archosauromorph, Archosaurus, is also placed in Chasmatosuchinae but is thought to be more derived than Vonhuenia, suggesting that the ancestors of Vonhuenia diverged from other chasmatosuchines during the Late Permian.[4]
Paleobiology
Vonhuenia was a small archosauriform that lived alongside amphibians like dicynodont Lystrosaurus in the earliest Triassic.[5]
