What Kind of Animal am I? Go back to the guessed animal and classify it as a mammal or a reptile according to its distinct characteristics. They will then classify their animal as a mammal or a reptile. 5) Have each group draw, list the characteristics and classify their animal as a reptile or a mammal (animal chosen from provided books). www.fhsu.edu /te/facstaff/gtaggart/lessons/fall99/animal4.html   (398 words)

Part 6: The Gulf Between Reptiles and Mammals There is a continuum of fossil forms from basically primitive reptiles, to primitive synapsid reptiles, to advanced mammal-like reptiles, to primitive reptile-like mammals, to advanced mammals of the kind that survive today. The evidence is based on detailed studies of jaw articulation in reptiles and mammals (both living and fossil) and the development of the bones of the mammalian middle ear, three of which appear to be the same as bones that help to articulate the reptilian jaw. It explains some ways reptiles and mammals are different from one another, and implies they have always been different. www.geocities.com /Athens/Academy/6040/ce06.htm   (270 words)

South African Museum - Fossil Reptiles of the South African Karoo The dicynodonts, with such characters as the temporal opening in the side of the skull, were clearly mammal-like reptiles, but with specializations like a horny beak and highly modified chewing action, they merely represent a very successful herbivorous branch of the mammal-like reptiles persisting until late in the Karoo period. However, the other early mammal-like reptile group, the Therocephalia, were from the beginning a progressive and diversified group, and it is probably through them and their descendants, the cynodonts, that the line leading to mammals ran. Cusped teeth, of which these were early forerunners, are an important characteristic of mammals, and much of early mammal classification revolves around the nature of complicated tooth cusp patterns. www.museums.org.za /sam/resource/palaeo/cluver/early.htm   (1119 words)

Best Ideas for Teaching Grades 3-5 (Mammal, Fish, Reptile, Amphibian, Crustacean, Mollusk, etc.) Give the student groups a couple of minutes to decide which classification fits each of their animals named on the index cards. Tell the students that they will each be responsible for one animal and that they should be able to support their classification decisions based on prior instruction. On sentence strips of a different color or white sentence strips with a different colored marker, write the following ocean zones: the sunlit zone which includes the coral reef, the tide pool, the rocky ocean floor, and the sandy ocean floor; the twilight zone; the deep ocean; and the abyss. teacher.scholastic.com /grade/grades35/oct_grades35_lesson1.htm   (1315 words)

Mammal-like reptiles - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Mammal-like reptiles is a term used to describe the prehistoric animals that appear to be the reptilian ancestors of mammals. The term is not considered a formal one by most experts, for, technically speaking, the mammal-like reptiles are closer on the evolutionary branch to mammals than to the traditionally defined reptiles (thus, 'reptile-like mammals' would be a more accurate term). en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Mammal-like_reptile   (566 words)

The International Museum of Texas Throughout the Triassic, reptiles rapidly flourished with the extinction of mammal-like reptiles, producing the highly succesfu1 archosaur group which gave rise to crocodiles, pterosaurs, and the dinosaurs. The breakup of Pangaea at the end of the Triassic separated dinosaur populations along with the first true mammals, tiny burrowing descendants of the mammal-like reptiles.

Origin of Dinosaurs and Mammals - Erickson Among the earliest synapsids were the pelycosaurs, the so-called 'primitive mammal-like reptiles.' Dominant in the Late Pennsylvanian and Early Permian, the pelycosaurs were succeeded in the Late Permian by their descendants, the therapsids, which flourished into the Triassic. In general, the solid-skulled synapsid reptiles had massive and thick-boned skeletons whereas the skeletons of the open-skulled diapsids, and the dinosaurs in particular, were slender and lightly constructed. Synapsid and diapsid reptiles were only very distantly related, having diverged from the basal reptile stock during the Pennsylvanian period 100 million years before the Triassic. microlnx.com /dinosaurs/Synapsid_Diapsid.html   (566 words)

Australian Fossil A Mystery It was thought that all the mammal-like reptiles became extinct by the end of the Triassic, about 200 million years ago, or evolved into the small mammals that are our ancestors. About 230 million years ago there was a mass extinction that killed off most of the mammal-like reptiles that had ruled the Earth for tens of millions of years. However, scientists in Australia have made what could be an amazing discovery; the fossil remains of a mammal-like reptile, called a dicynodont, that are only 105 million years old. www.jpinstitute.com /news/jn_dicynodont.jsp   (566 words)

South African Museum - Fossil Reptiles of the South African Karoo The Dinocephalia, mentioned earlier, were among the most primitive of the mammal-like reptiles, but some of their features, particularly in the skull, serve to illustrate the fundamental characteristics of mammal-like reptiles. The Dinocephalia, although primitive members of the mammal-like reptile stock, were therefore altogether distinct from other reptile groups, but it is most unlikely that such mammalian characteristics as hair, mammary glands and 'warm-bloodedness' were present among them. A large opening in the temporal region, immediately behind the eye-socket, permitted bulging of the jaw muscles during chewing and biting, and is characteristic of all mammal-like reptiles. www.museums.org.za /sam/resource/palaeo/cluver/early.htm   (1119 words)

therapsd.htm Thus, the fossil record demonstrates, during the transition from therapsid reptile to mammal, various bones in the skull slowly migrated together to form a second functional jaw joint, and the now-superfluous original jaw bones were reduced in size until they formed the three bones in the mammalian middle ear. The fossil transition from reptile to mammal is one of the most extensive and well-studied of all the transitions, and detailed series of fossils demonstrate how this transition was accomplished. Since the determining characteristic of a mammal in the fossil record is the structure of the jaw bone and joint, all of the therapsids up to the Morganucodonts are classified as reptiles, and all those after that are considered to be mammals. www.geocities.com /CapeCanaveral/Hangar/2437/therapsd.htm   (2573 words)
