angielczyki Kammerer, 2019 See below Dicynodon ("two dog-teeth") is a genus of dicynodont therapsid that flourished during the Upper Permian period.

It probably cropped vegetation with a horny beak, much like a tortoise, while the tusks may have been used for digging up roots and tubers.

A 2011 study of the genus found most of the species to represent a paraphyletic grouping, with the only valid members of Dicynodon being D. lacerticeps and D.

[1] A 2019 study named a new species D. angielczyki, but simultaneously transferred D. huenei to the genus Daptocephalus.

Its fossil remains have been found in sediments of latest Permian age in South Africa and Tanzania.
