Are humans related to Gorgonopsia?, because Gorgonopsia was one of the ancestors of all mammals Phthinosuchusisanancestor ( talk) 15:25, 24 October 2008 (UTC) Phthinosuchus
Is this the same Niuksenitia as in Burnetiidae? Classification dispute? Error? Two with the same name? Shinobu ( talk) 03:23, 30 December 2008 (UTC)
"The largest known, Inostrancevia, was the size of a large bear with a 45 cm long skull". Actually, Inostrancevia could be at least 1.5 larger. There are evidence from separately found bones, and also from size of some skulls known (see also Discussion sheet at Inostrancevia Wiki-page)-- 188.123.252.14 ( talk) 08:45, 23 January 2011 (UTC)
This claim of "deceptive wording" is annoying:
Historically theriodonts were classified as reptiles, later in a new cladistic-based interpretation which did not include a clade called "Reptilia" (because any such clade would be paraphyletic) they were classified under Synapsida. There is nothing deceptive here; these were separate and distinct classifications. -- Saforrest ( talk) 09:34, 16 April 2019 (UTC)

While expanding Viatkogorgon, I just learned that gorgonopsians retained palatal teeth, which were otherwise lost and reduced in most therapsid groups. This certainly warrants a mention in the dentition section, which doesn't mention these teeth at all now. FunkMonk ( talk) 01:27, 17 September 2021 (UTC)
Gorgonopsia went extinct a million years before the extinction acording to the timeline-- Bubblesorg ( talk) 22:46, 3 December 2021 (UTC)
I wouldn't rely on a single 2015 paper as an authority on the date of the extinction of the dinocephalians, a paper that came out this year
The Late Capitanian Mass Extinction of Terrestrial Vertebrates in the Karoo Basin of South Africa states: The Poortjie dinocephalians all occur within the 30 m interval above a tuff horizon that has produced a CA-TIMS age of 260.26 Ma, which constrains them to the late Capitanian

Hello everyone, I have a small anomaly to reproach concerning the article in question. Indeed when an article is labeled and when you go to another language, the labeled article is always accompanied by a star symbol which shows the quality of the article (grey star for "good article" and yellow star for "quality article"), which, obviously, is not the case for Gorgonopsia, and I would like this frustrating problem to be fixed...
