/ˌprəʊkɒləˈfɒnɪd/, U.S.

/ˈˌproʊˌkɑləˈfɑnəd/

Origin: A borrowing from Latin, combined with an English element; modelled on a Latin lexical item. Etymons: Latin Procolophon , -id suffix³.

Etymology: < scientific Latin Procolophon, genus name ( R. Owen Descr. & Illustr. Catal. Fossil Reptilia S. Afr. in Coll. Brit. Mus. (1876) 25; < ancient Greek προ- pro- prefix² + κολοϕών summit, apex: see colophon n.) + -id suffix³, after scientific Latin Procolophonidae, family name (1889 or earlier).

Palaeontology.

A. n.

A reptile of the extinct family Procolophonidae, which comprised small plant-eating cotylosaurs found from the Permian to late Triassic periods.

ΚΠ

1940 A. S. Romer Vertebr. Paleontol. (ed. 2) 527 In the Russian Middle Permian are two types of procolophonids—small cotylosaurs which were destined to survive and flourish in the Triassic.

1988 New Scientist 8 Oct. 42/1 Procolophonids..were squat animals, little more than 50 centimetres long.

1996 San Francisco Chronicle (Nexis) 29 Feb. a2 Michel Laurin..insists that the fossil evidence links turtle ancestry more convincingly back to an even older reptilian family called procolophonids.

B. adj.

Of, relating to, or characteristic of the family Procolophonidae.

ΚΠ

1954 W. E. Swinton Fossil Amphibians & Reptiles viii. 45 It indicates one way in which a Procolophonid member of the Cotylosauria probably developed into a superficially primitive chelonian.

1987 Science (Nexis) 28 Aug. 1025 The procolophonid reptile Hypsognathus..has been found roughly 120m below the basalt.

2001 S. G. Lucas Chinese Fossil Vertebr. 99 The triangular skull, large orbits and small number of transversely broad teeth are typical procolophonid features of Eumetabolodon.
