Younginiformes

Encyclopedia : Y : YO : YOU : Younginiformes

A replacement for the taxon Eosuchia, proposed by Alfred Romer in 1947.

The Eosuchia having become rather a dustbin for many probably distantly-related primitive diapsid reptiles ranging from the late Carboniferous to the Eocene Romer proposed that this be replaced by Younginiformes, to include the Younginidae and a very few similar families, ranging from the Permian to the Triassic.
