It is known only from the Holotype which dates from the upper Permian Period geology Period . The type species C. gracilis is the only species of Charassognathus . The holotype South African Museum SAM PK K 10369 is made up of a crushed skull , partial lower jaw and one leg. Charassognathus was a quadrupedal predator . It was named for a notch on its coronoid process of the mandible coronoid process which most likely was the insertion point for a chewing muscle, the adductor mandibulae externus . Charassognathus was a tiny animal, with a skull only 5 centimeters in length. Since the body of Charassognathus hasn t been discovered, its full length remains unknown, but estimates have been made at 50 centimeters. Description Charassognathus has a snout that makes up slightly less than half of the total length of its skull and a long facial process on its septomaxilla. Other than these two features its skull is that of a typical cynodont. The odd shape of its septomaxilla is more typical of therocephalian s indicating that it may be close to a common ancestor between the two groups.
