''Biarmosuchus tener'' was a Therapsida reptile that lived around 255 Mya . It was discovered in the Perm region of Russia . The specimen was found in Channel Sandstone that was deposited by Flood waters originating from the young Ural Mountains . The species is the most primitive of the mammal-like reptiles and had slender limbs. A large opening for the eye and a small Temple Opening common in primitive mammal-like reptiles, this lends to a weak bite but how it ate is pure speculation.

The teeth contained 8 small Inciser 's on the Palate , followed by a Canine tooth and a thurther 5 canine teeth. So together the species contained 14 upper teeth and 12 lower teeth of small size. ( Kemp 1982)
