Gorgonopsid
The Gorgonopsids were Therapsids, a group of tetrapods which eventually gave rise to the cynodonts, with the cynodonts ultimately giving rise to mammals. Gorgonopsids probably had rhino like skin and still laid eggs. Gorgonopsids were a successful group which lived during the Permian period, about 260 million years ago...
