Best Answer

Some of the synapomorphies, or shared derived characters of Sauropsida are as follows:

  • maxilla separate from the quadratojugal
  • little or no specialisation on tooth row
  • supinator process parallel to humeral shaft
  • locomotion using lateral undulation (side-to-side), usually involving the tail
  • absence of glands in the skin
  • uric acid excreted via faeces (as opposed to via further processing in most mammals to allantoin excreted via urine)
  • beta keratin rich skin (more rigid than mammalian alpha keratin rich skin)
