Moghreberia is an extinct genus of dicynodont predicted to have lived only in the mid-Triassic, primarily during the early middle Carnian and found only in the Angara Basin of Morocco.[1] Moghreberia belonged to the Stahleckeriidae family, a group of anomodont therapsids and is most commonly known by its species Moghreberia nmachouensis.[2] Its name is derived from the Arabic phrase al-Maghrib al-Aqsa meaning “the far west”, a term used by Arabic scholars to refer to the approximate region of Morocco, the area in which this animal’s fossil was first discovered.[3] The extinction of many dicynodonts has been attributed to pressures of the Carnian Pluvial Episode, which occurred around 234-232 Ma and generated major ecological and climate changes for years to come.[4]
