[1] The only tangible evidence of a feature which is quite apparent to the eye is the fact that the snout appears to be stouter, higher and shorter than in Bauria cynops.

[4] † Caseasauria † Sphenacodontidae † Tetraceratops † Eotitanosuchidae † Phthinosuchidae † Anteosauria † Tapinocephalia † Dromasauria † Dicynodontia † Lycaenops † Inostrancevia † Bauria Mammalia Based on Brink's analysis of skull and lower jaw features in 1963, Bauria is a therapsid sufficiently different from Scaloposaurus and its allies to warrant distinction at the infraorder level.

[3] Bauria was later confirmed to be a sister taxon of cynodonts, followed by an outgroup formed by (Moschorhinus (Ictidosuchops, Theriognathus)), using techniques involving Most Parsimonious Trees.

[6] According to what Brink compiled, the basioccipital of Bauria contributes in the typical therocephalian-scaloposaurid manner to the occipital condyle.

[3] The fronto-parietal suture is narrow in Bauria, which differs from ictidosuchids who have a generally broader region[7] The pineal foramen is absent, a feature of considerable significance at this critical level near the threshold of homoiotherm mammals.

[3] The posterior extensions flanking the parietals do not extend upward, the postorbital frontal sutures form no ridges, unlike in ictidosuchoids.

[3] This arrangement gives the dentary a very mammal-like or ictidosaur appearance, but the coronoid process is by contrast typically scaloposaurid.

[3] The therocephalian Bauria shows a more complex postcanine crown pattern, but only one cusp can be seen in labial view[8][9] The diet of Bauria is assumed to have included tough fibrous material due to the way the anterior edge of an upper tooth shears against the posterior edge of the corresponding lower tooth to generate a cutting action.
