Pachydectes
Extinct genus of therapsids
Pachydectes is an extinct genus of biarmosuchian therapsids from the Middle Permian of South Africa known from a single skull. The etymology of the name Pachydectes is derived from the Greek word pakhus, meaning "thick" or "thickened", and dektes, meaning "biter". In conjunction this name is representative of the unique pachyostotic bone present above the maxillary canine tooth found in the skull of the specimen. There is only one known species within the genus, Pachydectes elsi which is named in honor of the person who discovered the fossil.
