Adelobasileus

Adelobasileus is a genus of mammaliamorph cynodonts from the Late Triassic (Carnian to Rhaetian), about 225 - 220 million years ago. Sinoconodon and Adelobasileus are Prozostrodontia.

See Sinoconodon and Adelobasileus

Amphibian

Amphibians are ectothermic, anamniotic, four-limbed vertebrate animals that constitute the class Amphibia.

See Sinoconodon and Amphibian

Articular bone

The articular bone is part of the lower jaw of most vertebrates, including most jawed fish, amphibians, birds and various kinds of reptiles, as well as ancestral mammals.

See Sinoconodon and Articular bone

Basal (phylogenetics)

In phylogenetics, basal is the direction of the base (or root) of a rooted phylogenetic tree or cladogram.

Bryan Patterson

Bryan Patterson (born 10 March 1909 in London; died 1 December 1979 in Chicago) was an American paleontologist at the Field Museum of Natural History in Chicago.

Castorocauda

Castorocauda is an extinct, semi-aquatic, superficially otter-like genus of docodont mammaliaforms with one species, C. lutrasimilis.

See Sinoconodon and Castorocauda

Cynodontia

Cynodontia is a clade of eutheriodont therapsids that first appeared in the Late Permian (approximately 260 mya), and extensively diversified after the Permian–Triassic extinction event.

See Sinoconodon and Cynodontia

Docodonta

Docodonta is an order of extinct Mesozoic mammaliaforms (advanced cynodonts closely related to true crown-group mammals).

See Sinoconodon and Docodonta

Early Jurassic

The Early Jurassic Epoch (in chronostratigraphy corresponding to the Lower Jurassic Series) is the earliest of three epochs of the Jurassic Period.

See Sinoconodon and Early Jurassic

European hedgehog

The European hedgehog (Erinaceus europaeus), also known as the West European hedgehog or common hedgehog, is a hedgehog species native to Europe from Iberia and Italy northwards into Scandinavia and westwards into the British Isles.

Everett C. Olson

Everett Claire Olson (November 6, 1910 – November 27, 1993) was an American zoologist, paleontologist, and geologist noted for his seminal research of origin and evolution of vertebrate animals.

Fossil

A fossil (from Classical Latin) is any preserved remains, impression, or trace of any once-living thing from a past geological age.

See Sinoconodon and Fossil

Hadrocodium

Hadrocodium wui is an extinct mammaliaform that lived during the Sinemurian stage of the Early Jurassic approximately in the Lufeng Formation in what is now the Yunnan province in south-western China (paleocoordinates). It is considered as the closest relative of the class Mammalia. Sinoconodon and Hadrocodium are fossils of China and Sinemurian life.

See Sinoconodon and Hadrocodium

Haldanodon

Haldanodon is an extinct docodont mammaliaform which lived in the Upper Jurassic (Kimmeridgian, about 145 million years ago).

See Sinoconodon and Haldanodon

Haramiyida

Haramiyida is a possibly paraphyletic order of mammaliaform cynodonts or mammals of controversial taxonomic affinites. Sinoconodon and Haramiyida are transitional fossils.

Lufeng Formation

The Lufeng Formation (formerly Lower Lufeng Series) is a Lower Jurassic sedimentary rock formation found in Yunnan, China.

Mammal

A mammal is a vertebrate animal of the class Mammalia.

See Sinoconodon and Mammal

Mammaliaformes

Mammaliaformes ("mammalian forms") is a clade that contains the crown group mammals and their closest extinct relatives; the group radiated from earlier probainognathian cynodonts. Sinoconodon and Mammaliaformes are Prozostrodontia.

See Sinoconodon and Mammaliaformes

Mammaliamorpha

Mammaliamorpha is a clade of cynodonts. Sinoconodon and Mammaliamorpha are Prozostrodontia.

See Sinoconodon and Mammaliamorpha

Mandible

In jawed vertebrates, the mandible (from the Latin mandibula, 'for chewing'), lower jaw, or jawbone is a bone that makes up the lowerand typically more mobilecomponent of the mouth (the upper jaw being known as the maxilla).

See Sinoconodon and Mandible

Megazostrodon

Megazostrodon is an extinct genus of basal mammaliaforms belonging to the order Morganucodonta.

See Sinoconodon and Megazostrodon

Morganucodon

Morganucodon ("Glamorgan tooth") is an early mammaliaform genus that lived from the Late Triassic to the Middle Jurassic. Sinoconodon and Morganucodon are transitional fossils.

See Sinoconodon and Morganucodon

Morganucodonta

Morganucodonta ("Glamorgan teeth") is an extinct order of basal Mammaliaformes, a group including crown-group mammals (Mammalia) and their close relatives.

See Sinoconodon and Morganucodonta

Plesiomorphy and symplesiomorphy

In phylogenetics, a plesiomorphy ("near form") and symplesiomorphy are synonyms for an ancestral character shared by all members of a clade, which does not distinguish the clade from other clades.

See Sinoconodon and Plesiomorphy and symplesiomorphy

Polyphyodont

A polyphyodont is any animal whose teeth are continually replaced.

See Sinoconodon and Polyphyodont

Quadrate bone

The quadrate bone is a skull bone in most tetrapods, including amphibians, sauropsids (reptiles, birds), and early synapsids.

See Sinoconodon and Quadrate bone

Reptile

Reptiles, as commonly defined, are a group of tetrapods with usually an ectothermic ('cold-blooded') metabolism and amniotic development.

See Sinoconodon and Reptile

Sinemurian

In the geologic timescale, the Sinemurian is an age and stage in the Early or Lower Jurassic Epoch or Series.

See Sinoconodon and Sinemurian

Squamosal bone

The squamosal is a skull bone found in most reptiles, amphibians, and birds.

See Sinoconodon and Squamosal bone

Tetrapod

A tetrapod is any four-limbed vertebrate animal of the superclass Tetrapoda.

See Sinoconodon and Tetrapod

Transitional fossil

A transitional fossil is any fossilized remains of a life form that exhibits traits common to both an ancestral group and its derived descendant group. Sinoconodon and transitional fossil are transitional fossils.
