	Introduction to Anapsida (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		The clade Anapsida includes turtles and all their extinct relatives, which include millerettids, procolophonoids, pareiasaurs, as well as more poorly known taxa such as Acleistorhinus, lanthanosuchids, and nyctiphruretians.
		As you'll notice while you tour this section of the University of California Museum of Paleontology, the anapsids once consisted of many groups, many of which could be considered to have been quite successful until their extinction.
		The geographic origin of Anapsida has not yet been determined because the fossil record of Paleozoic tetrapods is too poor and localized, but the oldest known anapsid comes from the Lower Permian of North America.

	Temporal Fenestration of Amniotes
		Taxa such as Anapsida, Diapsida, Euryapsida, and Synapsida were named after their type of temporal fenestration.
		Anapsida (the taxon) includes turtles and their extinct relatives.
		The diapsid condition is characterized by the presence of two temporal fenestrae, called the lower and the upper temporal fenestrae.

	Extinct Reptiles
		And, in fact, the name Anapsida, which is the condition of having no opening, notemporal fenestra, that's the condition that is found in animals placed in the subclass Anapsida.
		And the Synapsid condition in which the temporal opening is somewhat low on the sideof the skull, and these 2 bones, the postorbital and squamosal bones meet above the fenestrae thatSynapsid condition is found in the subclass Synapsid.
		And there are 2 subclasses that have theDiapsid condition, that's the subclass Archosauria, which includes the crocodiles and thedinosaurs, and the subclass Lepidosauria, which includes only one living order Squamata, butthat's where we find all the rest of the living reptiles.

		The term Anapsida ("no arch") originally referred to all those reptile groups that lack skull openings behind the eyes.
		Pleurodires are still found in the Gondwanan continents of Africa and South America, and are the only turtles native to Australia, another Gondwanan land.

	Turtles
		This was very unusual because in general footprints and bones require different conditions for preservation.
		Turtles are the only surviving members of a group of animals called the anapsida.
		In my article "Reptile Skulls", I talked about the different types of skulls seen in reptiles and mammals.

	Turtle information - Search.com
		The first turtles are believed to have existed in the Mesozoic, around 200 million years ago.
		It was believed that they are the only surviving branch of the ancient clade Anapsida, which includes groups such as procolophonoids, millerettids, protorothyrids and pareiasaurs.
		All anapsid skulls lack a temporal opening, while all other extant amniotes have temporal openings (although in mammals the hole has become the zygomatic arch).

		Turtles are the only surviving branch of the even more ancient clade Anapsida, which includes groups such as the procolophonoids, millerettids and pareiasaurs.
		Re-analysis of prior phylogenies that affirmed an anapsid ancestry suggests that their inclusion of turtles within Anapsida was due to both the starting assumption that they were anapsid (most prior phylogenies concerned what sort of anapsid they were) and also due to insufficiently broad sampling of fossil and extant taxa for construction of the cladogram.
		While the issue is far from resolved, most scientists now lean towards a Diapsid origin for turtles.

	Anapsida: Fossil Record (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		The oldest known member of Anapsida is Acleistorhinus, a small reptile from the Lower Permian of Oklahoma.
		However, the presence of romeriids (the sister-group, or closest relatives, of anapsids) in the Middle Pennsylvanian indicates that Anapsida originated no later than the Middle Pennsylvanian.
		Therefore, a long hiatus exists in the fossil record of anapsids.

	- Reappraising the ''Crown Jewel'' -
		The reptile-to-mammal story begins with what are termed “primitive” amniotes, reptiles belonging to the “stem” subclass Anapsida.
		Though the origin of these first reptiles is technically not a part of the reptile-to-mammal transition, it is noteworthy that their alleged descent from amphibians is not documented in the fossil record.
		Evolutionists believe that synapsids (amniotes having a single temporal opening) evolved from within the Protorothyridae, a family in the order Captorhinida in the subclass Anapsida.

		The best known examples are Parieasaurus and Scutosaurus.
		The MILLERETTIDAE were small insectivorous reptiles that seem to be a specialized set of the anapsida that had developed an extra pair of skull openings.
		They have been found only in South Africa.

		The turtle is an important organism in the Class Reptilia, Subclass Anapsida, and Order Chelonia (Testudines).
		The turtle is studied in comparative anatomy because it is the only extant member of the Subclass Anapsida.
		Members of the Subclass Anapsida have no fenestration in the skull.
