  1. Comparative AnatomyVertebrate Classification: Amphibians and Reptiles Note Set 3 Chapter 3

  2. Reptiles • Mesozoic Era (Jurassic Period)- Age of Reptiles • Extinction took place at end of Paleozoic era with placoderms Figure 5.1: Carboniferous Period.

  3. Labyrinthodont amphibians led to stem reptiles- cotylosaurs • Which gave rise to all reptiles and mammals Figure 5.2: Cotylosuars, stem reptiles.

  4. Phylogeny of Amniote Groups Figure 5.3

  5. Reptile Characteristics • True claws • Amniotic eggs • No metamorphosis • 12 pairs of cranial nerves • Single occipital condyle Figure 5.4: Dragon Figure 5.5: Reptile egg.

  6. Reptile Oral Cavity Tooth type • Acrodont • Tooth on surface of jaw • Ex: fish and Sphenodon (tuatara) • Pleurodont • Tooth attached on medial surface of jaw • Ex: lizards and snakes • Thecodont • Teeth embedded in socket in jaw bone • Ex: crocodile Figure 5.6: Jaw cross section .

  7. Skull Type Reptiles are diversified by skull type • Anapsid- lack temporal fossa • Diapsid- two temporal fossa • One dorsal and one ventral • Synapsid- single, lower temporal fossa • Gives rise to mammal-like reptiles Figure 5.7 Figure 5.8: Sarcopterygii scull.

  8. Reptilian Subclasses • Anapsida • Order Testudines (Chelodina) • Ex: turtles • Diapsida • Major reptiles • Order Squamata • Ex: lizards and snakes • Suborder Serpentes; Sauria • Order Sphenodon • Ex: tuatara • Order Crocodillia • Synapsida • Mammal-like reptiles • Suborder Pelycosauria • Suborder Therapsida

  9. Stem Reptiles Figure 5.10 Figure 5.9.

  10. Dinosaur Groups Morphological character of pelvis makes distinction • Saurischians • Triradiate pelvis • Lizard-like • Omithischians • Tetraradiate pelvis • Bird-like Figure 5.11: Pelvic of two dinosaur groups.

  11. Dinosaur Groups (cont.) • Saurischians • Gives rise to dominant reptiles • Birds evolved • Parallel convergence Figure 5.12: Reptilia Cladogram.

  12. Birds • Archeopteryx- bird fossil record • Feathers and teeth present Figure 5.13: Archeopteryx fossil.

  13. Birds (cont.) • Keeled sternum in birds that fly Figure 5.14: (a) Archaeopteryx (b) pigeon.
