Kannemeyeria



Kannemeyeria is a species of dicynodont therapsid that thrived during the Olenekian Stage and the Anisian Stage.

Fossil Record & Distribution
Fossils of Kannemeyeria have been found in South Africa, India, China and Argentina, along with possible remains from Russia, suggesting a near-global distribution like many other animals of that time due to all continents being joined together.

Description & Paleobiology
Kannemeyeria was about 3 meters in length. It was a heavily built herbivore with powerful jaw muscles and a beak for grinding tough plant material, possibly roots.
