Summary edit

Description
English: Historical drawing of a cast of the holotype specimen (MNHN 1865-77) of the aquatic reptile Mesosaurus tenuidens GERVAIS 1865 from the Lower Permian of South Africa. The specimen consists of the anterior half of a skeleton in ventral view. Note the thick heavy (pachyostotic) ribs, a trait which is not unusual for secondary aquatic vertebrates.
