Here are more of the Therapsids. For I time I attended mineral and jewelry shows and earned a space by giving classes. One was titled “Which Came First, the Mammal or the Dinosaur?” I had some neat Therapsid artwork for that class. Here is what Google has on Images of Therapsids

https://www.google.com/search?q=Images+of+therapsids&num=50&newwindow=1&safe=off&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjtmJ_vjYPfAhUSUt8KHQSuDaEQsAR6BAgDEAE&biw=1594&bih=760#imgrc=_

What is interesting about the subject critter is that it was found in the late Triassic. Virtually all Therapsids were killed off by the great dying at the end of the Permian. As one article said, the only thing left afterwards was Lystrosaurus, great quantities of Lystrosaurus. In the area of South Africa where their remains were found, the scientists found so many that they would groan in disgust when they found another one, and another one, and another one.
