Information on their postcranial anatomy may also help in the interpretation of the kinds of habitats which these early forms occupied and indicate why the dicynodonts did not apparently radiate explosively until later on in the Cistecephalus Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original South African Museum.
