Dinogorgon head
Dinogorgon ("terrible gorgon") is a gorgonopsid therapsid from the Late Permian of South Africa and Tanzania. Dinogorgon was a 2 m (6 ft) long predator that preyed on reptiles and smaller therapsids.[1] Its closest relatives included Lycaenops, and possibly Gorgonops. The type species Dinogorgon rubidgei was named by South African paleontologist Robert Broom in 1936.[2]
