Abstract
ABSTRACT A previously undescribed, excellently preserved skull of the placodontoid Placodus gigas from the upper Muschelkalk of southern Germany shows a number of features that link the Placodontia to the Diapsida. A large quadratojugal forms much of the temporal bar. Posttemporal fenestrae are well-developed. No evidence exists to support a close relationship between Placodontia and Sauropterygia or between Placodontia and Ichthyopterygia.
