Beaks of the Permo‐Triassic: a morpho‐functional analysis at the dawn of a novel structure in tetrapod evolution
The Triassic was a unique time for beak evolution, as seen in a wide diversity of terrestrial tetrapods. Beaks were present in dicynodont synapsid survivors of the Permo-Triassic mass extinction even...
