| Scientific classification |
Titanophoneus is a Dinocephalian Therapsid from middle Permian Russia. It is closely related to Karoo's Anteosaurus.
Description[]
An adult skull would have reached 80 cm with a heavy long snout. The long tail and short limbs show the species to be a primitive therapsid unlike Inostrancevia which was more advanced. The structure of the limbs and the density of the bone are designed for a sprawling stance. The temporal opening is more advanced than Estemmenosuchidae but less advanced than Inostrancevia. Total length would be 2.85 meters.
