Phorcys is an extinct genus of gorgonopsian (predatory therapsids, related to modern mammals) that lived during the Middle Permian period (Guadalupian) of what is now South Africa. It is known from two specimens, both portions from the back of the skull, that were described and named in 2022 as a new genus and species P. dubei by Christian Kammerer and Bruce Rubidge. The generic name is from Phorcys of Greek mythology, the father of the Gorgons from which the gorgonopsians are named after, and refers to its status as one of the oldest representatives of the group in the fossil record. Phorcys was recovered from the lowest strata of the Tapinocephalus Assemblage Zone (AZ) of the Beaufort Group, making it one of the oldest known gorgonopsians in the fossil record—second only to fragmentary r

  • Phorcys dubei Phorcys Genre † Phorcys (d) & Rubidge, 2022 Espèce † Phorcys dubeiKammerer & Rubidge, 2022 Phorcys est un genre éteint de thérapsides gorgonopsiens ayant vécu durant le Permien moyen dans ce qui est actuellement l'Afrique du Sud. Une seule espèce est connu, Phorcys dubei, décrit en 2022 par les paléontologue Christian Kammerer et Bruce Rubidge à partir de deux fragments arrières de crânes provenant de deux spécimens distincts. Le nom générique du taxon vient de Phorcys, un dieu de la mythologie grecque incarnant le père des gorgones, dont les gorgonopsiens tirent leur nom, et fait référence à son statut de l'un des plus anciens représentants connu du groupe dans les archives fossiles. Phorcys a été découvert dans les strates les plus basses de la zone d'assemblage de Tapinoce (fr)
