	Sauropsid - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Sauropsids are a diverse group of mostly egg-laying vertebrate animals.
		Living sauropsids include lizards, snakes, turtles, crocodiles, and birds.

	The Origins of Eucynodonts
		Sauropsids, but you could call them reptiles should you prefer.
		However, as far as can be told, the earliest sauropsids and synapsids weren't all that different from each other.
		Each side of the synapsid skull had an extra opening behind the eye holes, (a temporal fenestra), and there were a number of other details.

		Sauropsid Phylogeny: All organisms more closely related to crocodylians and lizards than to Synapsids.
		The pattern: All amniotes that are not synapsids are sauropsids.
		Sure they are incomplete and, at best, sample only the anatomy of hard parts of the body, but they are real information from earlier stages of evolution that serve to break-up long branches.

		Numerous scientists have sought a homologue of mammalian isocortex in sauropsids (reptiles and birds) and a homologue of the sauropsid dorsal ventricular ridge in mammals.
		Although some of the proposed theories were enormously influential, alternative theories continued to coexist primarily because the striking differences in pallial organization between adult mammals, sauropsids, and amphibians, enabled different authors to enlist different subsets of similarity data in support of different hypotheses of putative homology.
		A phylogenetic analysis based on parsimony cannot discriminate between such alternative hypotheses of putative homology because sauropsids and mammals are sister groups.

	Lung Structure and Ventilation in Theropod Dinosaurs and Early Birds
		Lung morphology in nonavian sauropsid amniotes (reptiles) is distinct from the alveolar lungs of mammals (Fig.
		The nonavian sauropsid septate lung is analogous to a single,
		Given their affinity to other sauropsids, dinosaurs probably possessed septate lungs.

		Light microscopy, as well as scanning (SEM) and transmission (TEM) electron microscopy, were used to study the morphology of spermatozoa from Japanese quail.
		Japanese quail had a sauropsid type of sperm cell, which is typical of nonpasserine birds.
		The spermatozoa were vermiform in shape, with a maximum width of 0.6 µm and an overall length between 230 and 250 µm.

		In the end, the small advanced cynodonts and their mammalian descendents became nocturnal, depending on hearing and smell and leaving the day to the visual-orientated archosaurs (thecodonts and dinosaurs).
		Cynodont and early mammalian brains were larger than sauropsid (reptilian) brains not because they were more intelligent, but because of the enlarged olfactory and auditory bulbs.
		The small cynodonts and Mesozoic mammals owned the cool night, or lived in trees, the large thecodonts and dinosaurs ruled the day and the ground.

	Carboniferous - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		One of the greatest evolutionary innovations of the Carboniferous was the amniote egg, which allowed for the further exploitation of the land by certain tetrapods.
		These included the earliest Sauropsid reptiles (Hylonomus), and the earliest known Synapsida (Archaeothyris).
		These small lizard-like animals quickly gave rise to many descendants.

		However, Kevin Padian (University of California at Berkeley) and I had a suspicion that it was commonplace for sauropsid feet to interact with the ground in this way.
		The foot has very primitive sauropsid proportions with digit IV being the longest.
		Digit V points forward, as it does in modern skeletons and in fossil lizard and even archosauromorph skeletons.

	Dinosauria
		One option might be to consider the Birds as a superorder of Archosaurs alongside the paraphyletic Superorder Dinosauria.
		Birds thus constitute the culmination of Sauropsid evolution, just as mammals constitute the culmination of Theropsid evolution.

		This small, insectivorous reptile was an eosuchian, the group that gave rise to the archosaurs and lizards, the core members of the sauropsid assemblage, which was to replace the theropsid assemblage in the Triassic.
		Mesenosaurus was found in red clays deposited in an ancient lake in what is now northern Russia.

		In viviparous squamates, placental transfer of organic and inorganic nutrients is widespread, if not universal.
		The capacity for uptake by the fetal membranes may well be a primitive sauropsid feature that long predates the evolution of viviparity.
