In Depth
Burnetia is a genus of biarmosuchian therapsid that is still only known form a single skull that has been heavily compressed. The level of distortion in this skull makes it much more difficult to interpret specific features, though like with many of its relative genera, Burnetia appears to have had many boss-like projections upon its skull.
