The bolosaurids is an extinct group of anapsids from the Permian. Fossils have been found in North America, Russia and Germany. The bolosaurids were unusual for their time period by being bipedal, the oldest known tetrapods to have done so. Their teeths suggest that they were herbivores. The bolosaurids were a rare group and died out without any known descendants. In biology and ecology, extinction is the ceasing of existence of a species or group of species. ...

Eudibamus was not a dinosaur, but another, much earlier type of reptile.
Classification: class Reptilia (reptiles), order Eosuchia, suborder Bolosaurida, family Bolosauridae, Genus Eudibamus, species E.
Eudimorphodon (meaning: "true two-form tooth") was a pterosaur with a 2.5 feet (0.75 m) long wingspan, with large eyes, a short neck, many sharp teeth in pointed jaws (for eating fish and insects), and a diamond-shaped flap of skin at the end of the long, pointed tail.
Characters: Caniniform teeth absent; posterior emargination of skull; dorsal expansion of quadratojugal; expanded iliac blade.
Characters: Simple, conical teeth; retention of tabular, large supratemporal and postparietals; some forms with lateral temporal fenestra, but independently derived; lower temporal bar incomplete; stapes relatively small(?), light; impedance-matching ear likely; squamosal and quadratojugal embayed to support tympanum like diapsids (?) but unlike Testudines, which use quadrate; lizard-like?
Introduction: The Procolophonia are a group of early herbivorous reptiles that flourished during the Permian to Triassic periods.
