Restoration of Oudenodon bainii

Oudenodon latirostris skull

Oudenodon is an extinct genus of dicynodont. It was common throughout southern Africa during the Late Permian. Several species of Oudenodon are known. ^[2] Both O. bainii, the type species, and O. grandis are known from South Africa. ^{[3] [4]} Specimens of O. luangwensis have been found from Zambia. ^[5] One species, O. sakamenensis, is the only Permian therapsid yet described from Madagascar. ^[6] It is the type genus of the family Oudenodontidae, which includes members such as Tropidostoma .
