Description

A basal synapsid known from the Sakmarian epoch of the Early Permian;  Tetraceratops's exact phylogenetic affiliations are unknown.  It's been suggested to be a Pelycosaur or at the very least a basal therapsid.  All that is known of the animal is the skull; notable for it's 4 small hornlets.  The adult size of Tetraceratops is speculated to be around 1 meter (3.2 feet) in length, and is a seemingly carnivorous creature; probably preying on small reptiles and amphibians.  In turn, it could have been preyed upon by larger synapsids.  It's remains are known from Texas.
