WHAT DOES SPHENODONT MEAN IN ENGLISH?

sphenodont

Rhynchocephalia

Rhynchocephalia is an order of lizard-like reptiles that includes only one living genus and species, the tuatara. Despite its current lack of diversity, the Rhynchocephalia at one time included a wide array of genera in several families, and represents a lineage stretching back to the Mesozoic Era. Many of the niches occupied by lizards today were then held by sphenodontians. There was even a successful group of aquatic sphenodontians known as pleurosaurs. They are thought to only inhabit parts of New Zealand.
