Ianthasaurus was a small edaphosauridae edaphosaurid from the Late Pennsylvanian . Ianthasaurus lacks many of the spectacular specializations seen in Edaphosaurus . For example, the marginal dentition of Ianthasaurus is similar to that of insectivorous reptile s, with slender conical teeth which are slightly recurved at the tips, and there is a slight development of a caniniform region. The palatal and mandibular dentition is unspecialized, and there are no batteries of teeth for crushing of plant materials. Also unlike Edaphosaurus , Ianthasaurus was lightly built and was probably quite agile. The skull was similar to that to Haptodus , a sphenacodontia sphenacodontid , though they were distantly related. Discovery It was named by Robert R.

The Uddenitinae, proposed by Miller and Furnish, and known from the Pennsylvanian U Carboniferous Carb and Lower Permian , are transistional between the ancestral Pronoritidae and the more more traditional Medlicottiidae medlicottiids Morphology Genera of the Uddenitinae have narrow discoidal shells with narrow flat or sometimes grooved venters. Sutures are goniatitic to ceratitic with rounded saddles and slightly pointed to digitate lobes which form a declining series going toward the umbilicus. The ventral lobe is commonly long and narrow, and trifucated with sharp, simple prongs. Genera The Uddenitinae includes Prouddenites , ancestral form , Uddenites , type genus , Daixites , Neouddenites , , and Uddenoceras . Prouddenites , named by Miller, 1930, which is found in the Pennsylvanian of the south central United States and the Urals, has a discoidal shell with a flattened venter and a suture with an unequally trifid first lateral lobe.

The shell of Neoaganides has a well developed hyponomic sinus and shallow lateral reentrents at the aperture outlined by growth lines. Otherwise sculpture is lacking. The mature peristome rimming the aperture is simple and unconstricted, without pronounced lappets. The siphuncle is subcentral, ventral of the dorsal septal flexture. The suture is simple, goniatitic, with essentially symmetrical, undivided lobes. The ventral lobe is moderately wide, lanceolate or linguate, tongue shaped the dorsal lobe deep and narrow. The lateral and umbilical lobes 2 pairs are broad, the internal lobes narrow and close to the dorsal. Neoaganitdes is included in the subfamily Shouchangoceratinae, which are pseuohalorids characterized by rounded or attenuate goniatitic sutures, and most likely gave rise to the other, more prominently sculptured genera in the same subfamily.
