EVOLUTIONARY ASSEMBLY OF CROWN REPTILE ANATOMY CLARIFIED BY LATE PALEOZOIC RELATIVES OF NEODIAPSIDA

Xavier A. Jenkins, Roger Benson, David P. Ford…·Brandon R. Peecook

Synchrotron microtomography and a 167-taxon phylogenetic matrix place Millerettidae as sister to Neodiapsida (forming Parapleurota), dismantling Parareptilia and Eureptilia while dating tympanic hearing to the middle Permian.
