Delorhynchus
Extinct genus of reptiles / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Delorhynchus is an extinct genus of lanthanosuchoid parareptile known from the late Early Permian (Artinskian age) Garber Formation of Comanche County, Oklahoma. It contains three species: the type species D. priscus is based on a series of maxillae.[3] The second species to be described, D. cifellii, is known from a larger number of well-preserved skulls and skeletal material.[4] The third species, D. multidentatus, is based on a fragmentary skull with several rows of teeth on its jaw.[5]
