  1. Emily Keeble at Palaeocast has just produced a great interview about rhynchocephalians with Dr. Victor Beccari, a Brazilian paleontologist who works on them. The tuatara of Aotearoa / New Zealand is the only living rhynchocephalian, but they were much more diverse in the Mesozoic.

  2. I'm sure I read about a legless rhynchocephalian. I even think I saw a picture of a fossil. But I can't recall what it is named. Anyone know anything about it?
