Nothogomphodon is a genus of therocephalian therapsids. It is classified within the family Bauriidae and placed within its own subfamily, Nothogomphodontinae.[1]

Description

Nothogomphodon was unusual among therocephalians for its sectorial dentition, a feature it shared with cynodonts and which would have allowed it to shear meat more effectively.[2]

Species

There are two described species of Nothogomphodon: N. danilovi and N. sanjiaoensis. N. danilovi is the types species and is known from Russia, while N. sanjiaoensis is known from China. N. sanjiaoensis can be distinguished from N. danilovi by its ovate canine base and distinct gap between the canine and the first postcanine tooth.[2]

gollark: > Modern SIM cards allow applications to load when the SIM is in use by the subscriber. These applications communicate with the handset or a server using SIM Application Toolkit, which was initially specified by 3GPP in TS 11.14. (There is an identical ETSI specification with different numbering.) ETSI and 3GPP maintain the SIM specifications. The main specifications are: ETSI TS 102 223 (the toolkit for smartcards), ETSI TS 102 241 (API), ETSI TS 102 588 (application invocation), and ETSI TS 131 111 (toolkit for more SIM-likes). SIM toolkit applications were initially written in native code using proprietary APIs. To provide interoperability of the applications, ETSI choose Java Card.[11] A multi-company collaboration called GlobalPlatform defines some extensions on the cards, with additional APIs and features like more cryptographic security and RFID contactless use added.[12]
gollark: Yes.
gollark: But instead they're actually quite powerful things which run applications written in some weird Java dialect?!
gollark: Which could all be done in Software.
gollark: As far as I can see, all a "SIM card" really needs is some sort of network-ID information, and then an asymmetric keypair to verify itself to a network and act as a user ID.
