. Breviora. 1983 PELYCOSAUR INTERRELATIONSHIPS 15 Basipterygoid Prtesses The basipterygoid processes of Dimetrodon (Fig. 7G), Sphena- codon, and Edaphosaurus (Fig. 7F) extend anteriorly, ventrally, and laterally from the lateral surface of the basisphenoid. Each articular surface is divided into two areas, a flat anteroventrally facing area and a dorsally facing area at nearly 90 degrees to Figure 6. Occipital view of the skulls of A) Casea; B) Ophiacodon; C) Edapho- saurus; and D) Sphenacodon. Drawing of Casea based on UC 698 and UC 656; Ophiacodon based on MCZ 1366. MCZ 1426, and MCZ
