From the vault: my double life-size Morganucodon model (2017), for the University of Bristol Palaeobiology Research Group and National Museum of Wales, Cardiff. There was a lot of fun debate about what size and shape the ear pinna should be!

All of the M names in my Paleo Party! Are there any I'm missing? I had so many in this category, I had to make the Cenozoic it's own post! Come back tomorrow to see the mega-group of the Miocene and onwards!

"The advanced paramammals, the theraspids, evolved some 50 million years after the early flesh eaters. Giant lumbering plant eaters such as Moschops were forerunners of dicynodonts such as Lystrosaurus and Dinodontosaurus. Fierce flesh eaters such as Titanosuchus were ancestors of both the cynodonts (Thrinaxodon and Cynognathus) and the bauriamorphs (Bauria). Furry, warm-blooded flesh eaters, these were only a step away from being mammals. Morganucodon, the first true mammal, evolved around 200 million years ago."
