Sinokannemeyeria

Sinokannemeyeria is a genus of kannemeyeriiform dicynodont that lived during the Anisian age of Middle Triassic period in what is now Shanxi, China.

It had relatively short, stumpy legs which were held slightly sprawling gait to the sides of its body.

The limb girdles were formed into large, heavy plates of bone to support the weight of the wide, heavily built body.

Sinokannemeyeria may had rather indiscriminately seized and torn vegetation in contrast to the more selective cropping of Kannemeyeria.
