Deinocephalia

a suborder of large reptiles that existed in the Permian period. Maximum length, 5 m. Deinocephalia were characterized by massive skeletons and a domed thickening of the top of the skull. The suborder includes ten families. There were carnivorous Deinocephalia (for example, Titanophoneidae), as well as herbivorous types, such as Estemmenosuchidae and Ulemosaurus. Numerous remains have been found in the USSR near the middle Volga and in the Urals region and in South Africa and the United States.
