The holotype specimen was found in 1911 in the Lower Permian Abo Formation in New Mexico. It consists of the skull and postcranial material including femora, humeri, scapulae, pelvis, a section of the vertebral column, and osteoderms. It was originally described by Case et al. (1913) as a referred specimen of Aspidosaurus (sometimes "Broiliellus") novomexicanus but was subsequently determined to be a distinct species by Carroll (1964).[1][2] Carroll also identified a third specimen of Conjunctio, which he did not refer specifically to C. multidens; this was subsequently referred to as the "Admiral Taxon" (because it came from the Admiral Formation of Texas) by most workers until it was formalized as a distinct genus and species, Scapanops neglecta, by Schoch & Sues (2013).[3] These authors also provided an updated description and illustration of C. multidens.
Phylogenetic positionedit
Conjunctio is typically recovered as a basal eucacopine.[3]
