Dental features among early amniotes. Cladogram presenting some of the groups of stem or early Amniota. The dental features associated with each group are the assumed ancestral state for the groups or the described states for the genera (in bold). Other states that have been described in the groups are indicated with a smaller font. Implantation = geometry of implantation (S, subthecodonty; T, thecodonty; P, pleurodonty; A, acrodonty; Au, aulacodonty) Attachment = nature of the attachment (A, ankylosis; G, gomphosis) Replacement = number of replacement generation (P, polyphyodont; D, diphyodont; M, monophyodont).
