Barrel bodiedSmall headsOriginally lumped together, the subclass
Edaphosauria includeEdaphosauridaeCaseaLupeosauridaeNitrosauridae
Romer appeared to have decided Edaphosaurus should have their own subclass, but he was overruled
Romer compared the Edaphosaurus to Casea because of their pelycosaur similarities

Oldest and most primitive of the EdaphosauridaeTwo well-preserved specimens found in Garnett, KansasFirst found in the Upper Pennsylvanian Rock Lake Shale
of the Stanton formation.A stream valley in which there was a slow transgression
of flood waters.First unearthed by P.E. Peabody in 1957, and thought to
be a Dimetrodon, Reisz in 1982 confirmed this unknown specimen as an edaphosaur
Maintained edaphosaur spines, but did not really fit in with the rest of the genus, so a new genus was erected: Ianthasaurus
Only known species of Ianthasaurus: Ianthasaurus hardestii
Insectivore

Reduced skull sizeHead is the size of 5
dorsal centraNot as enlongate as the
IanthasaurusProcess of the postorbital
is short, not extending to the parietal foramen
Nasal bone is ¾ the size of the frontal
Subtemporal bar is displaced superiorly
Temporal fenestra is enlarged anteriorly and posteriorly
![Page 41: Abraham Miranda CSUSB 3.5.09. Barrel bodied Small heads Originally lumped together, the subclass Edaphosauria include Edaphosauridae Casea Lupeosauridae.](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051820/56649e8a5503460f94b8edba/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Supraorbital shelf is wide and deep concealing the orbits
Lacrimal bone is thin at the maxillae and progressively thickens posteriorly suggesting it carries some kind of load and transfers it to the prefrontal
Prefrontal and lacrimal form a buttress attachment for reinforcement
The nasal bone has a “scarred shelf” and sutures that lock into the prefrontal bone as well as thicken around the orbit.
Suggests that carries load for feeding

First fragments recovered by P.E. Raymond in Pitcairn,Pennsylvania in 1908
Romer and Price wanted to keep this sample as E. mirabilis, but renamed it due to geopgraphic incompatibilies (1940)
Permian sample Only small spine fragment with some
tubercles found

Early Permian pelycosaur found in the Wichita deposits of Texas
First thought by Romer or intermediate betweeen Edaphosaurus and Dimetrodon
Lack of cranial fossilsLack of Ianthasaurus-like shoulder girdle,
nothing to compare it to.

Only 3 survivedCentrum is 30mm longHave a mid ventral keelThe centra have a
diamond shape when cut transversly
This aspect is considered to be conserved through out the vertebral column
Anterior and posterior articular faces have “heavy lips”
Transverse processes are nearly identical to Edaphosaurus
![Page 60: Abraham Miranda CSUSB 3.5.09. Barrel bodied Small heads Originally lumped together, the subclass Edaphosauria include Edaphosauridae Casea Lupeosauridae.](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051820/56649e8a5503460f94b8edba/html5/thumbnails/60.jpg)
Sacral vertebrae have been recovered , but the number is unknown
Considered robust and shorter, but the anterolateral aspect is dominated by the articulation to the ribs
![Page 61: Abraham Miranda CSUSB 3.5.09. Barrel bodied Small heads Originally lumped together, the subclass Edaphosauria include Edaphosauridae Casea Lupeosauridae.](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051820/56649e8a5503460f94b8edba/html5/thumbnails/61.jpg)
• NO tubercles• Elevated transverse processes across the vertebral column• Zygapophyses are elevated•The centrum have a projecting keel

Lacked trabecular crossbars in neural spines
Mid-Dorsal Neural spine end missing
Neural spines have a forward tilt of 20 degrees at the base
Neural spines appear triangular at the base
8 spines have been recovered, considered to belong to the cervical vertebrae
Tall and narrow, no lateral depressions or modifications
Subcircular in cross-section
![Page 63: Abraham Miranda CSUSB 3.5.09. Barrel bodied Small heads Originally lumped together, the subclass Edaphosauria include Edaphosauridae Casea Lupeosauridae.](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051820/56649e8a5503460f94b8edba/html5/thumbnails/63.jpg)
Mid Dorsal neural spines extend vertically , or almost perpendicular to level of the vertebral column
Posteriodorsal neuro spinous processes lean posterior of the animal
Maintain a similar orientation to that of Ianthasaurus

Expanded ventral aspect
Slightly bigger than the range of the edaphosaur clavicle
Anteromedial aspect is thick but the anterodorsal aspect is missing. Maybe some of clavicle is missing!

Dorsal edge of scapula preserved
Scapula blade could be larger and longer than any previous recorded pelycosaur!
Probably smooth surfaced
Contains a broad convex fossa on medial side for large subcorocoid muscle
Supragleniod contains lots of bone
Gleniod fossa is marginally preserved, hard to analyze

An enlarged sail seems to be primitive, with advanced organisms down regulating the sail size.
Conversion from omnivorous to plant eater with advancing species
Edaphosaurs and Ianthasaurs clearly vary Look for key features Caniniform vs non-caniniform Prefrontal transverse process Smooth or roughened neural spines
Glaucosaurs: an interesting intermediateLupeosaurs are tenative edaphosaurs, but their
vertebral and spinous process features confirm their standing as Edaphosaurs
